The beauty of the world lies in diversity and as far as chocolate, there are three diverse flavors, namely black chocolate, milk and white chocolate.
Not only their names are different but the ingredients used, taste and shades in taste are also different.
Dark chocolate mostly consist of cocoa products such as Cocoa Butter, Sugar and Solid.
Most of the dark ones contain little or without milk.

Flavanol in black chocolate stimulates the production of nitric oxide in the body which causes blood vessels to increase blood flow and reduce blood pressure.
Dark chocolate also contains certain compounds, such as polyphenols and theobromine, which helps reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels which are bad cholesterol in the body and increase high density lipoprotein levels (HDL) cholesterol.
Black chocolate contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body.
Eating black chocolate can improve brain function, expand protection in neurons and help prevent neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
