Chocolate IS for Breakfast!
Published November 16, 2011For years, the “Beer isn’t just for breakfast crowd” has co-opted the best meal of the day, IMHO. No longer a 20 or 30 something who actually partook of that pastime, my long time addiction to chocolate is taking its place. Being the good DCD Chocolatier that I am, the proof is in the pudding ( or buns ) THIS Saturday at BizMom’s own, Shane. This MAYBE the LAST Chocolate Breakfast of 2011 as the year is rapidly disappearing. Can’t make the party? ALL specials WILL be honored if you call (928-3280) or email Chocolate Val (valATsrqchocolate dot com) by NOON, November 20.
Sweet, Spice and Chocolate YUM
Published July 19, 2011This Dove Chocolate Discoveries ™ bundle consists of our newest line of savory products, just in time to give to that special guy or use at your next BBQ!
SWEET ‘N’ SAVORY
SWEET ‘N’ SPICY COCOA RUB, CHOCOLATE FIG BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE, SWEET ‘N’ SMOKY CHOCOLATE BBQ SAUCE.
Some of us just go mad for savory chocolate specialties. Start with a salad made magical with chocolate infused fig vinaigrette. Move on to a savory chocolate rub on potatoes, corn or any meat you can muster. Top it off by brushing chocolateBBQ sauce on anything that holds still. You won’t regret it. Chocolate for dinner? Genius!
SWEET ‘N’ SPICY COCOA RUB:
Yes we can put a savory chocolate rub on our meat and potatoes, not to mention our vegetables in search of flavor. This versatile rub blends cocoa with sea salt, a touch of brown sugar, garlic, onion and smoked paprika. Widen your culinary horizons.
CHOCOLATE FIG BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE:
Salad need a little zip? A little wake-up call to the palette? Well, watch greens be transformed by this decadent blend of Balsamic vinegar, fig, orange, white chocolate and vanilla. Yum. The world’s wrongs have been righted. We can now, without guilt, put chocolate on our salads. Indulge!
SWEET ‘N’ SMOKY CHOCOLATE BBQ SAUCE:
This is a BBQ sauce unlike any you’ve tasted. It can single-handedly cure the chicken blahs, resurrect the overdone steak and transform frozen burgers into gourmet feats. Molasses, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, champagne vinegar, tomatoes and a sinful spice blend. Dip it, brush it, slather it on. Buy two, thank us later.
Do You Want Another Reason to Eat Chocolate?
Published June 27, 2011This may be old news to some. It was published last May by Jake Richardson (but, in case you missed it:
According to the website, Nutritiondata.com, a one ounce serving of dark chocolate contains 19 percent of the US RDA for iron. Yet an ounce of beef sirloin only contains 3 percent.
Is dark chocolate really that high in iron? Why hasn’t anyone told me this?
Data from USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference shows: Chocolate, dark, 70-85 percent cacao solids, value per 100 grams is 11.90 milligrams of iron. Beef, bottom sirloin, tri-tip roast, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0% fat, all grades, cooked, roasted, value per 100 grams is 1.66 milligrams of iron. Beef, ground, 70 percent lean meat / 30 percent fat, crumbles, cooked, pan-browned, value per 100 grams is 2.48 milligrams of iron. So these two information sources state that dark chocolate does contain more iron than some cuts of beef, and not just a little more. (I’m currently holding a dark chocolate bar and the wrapper says 100 grams is 3.5 ounces).
Now I’m not suggesting that anyone use dark chocolate as a staple, or primary source of iron. The chocolate bar I’m holding contains 27 grams of saturated fat, and that’s way too high to eat the whole thing at once, or even in a day. Also, my post here is not an exhaustive scientific study. I just wanted to share an example (one of many) showing that beef is not the only source of iron, nor the highest source of iron, and that we may find there are many sources beyond what we have been told via messages in the mainstream media. My apologies if you were already aware of the many non-meat sources of iron, including dark chocolate.
