DARK CHOCOLATE
D
ark chocolate with higher cocoa content is reported to be “heart
healthy” because it contains more flavonoids than any other food–
including green tea, black tea, red wine, and blueberries.
Flavonoids are antioxidant chemicals found in plant foods which help
blood vessels dilate, improve blood flow, reduce risk of blood clots and
decrease the body’s inflammatory immune responses that lead to
clogged arteries and heart attacks.
We are featuring Madelaine Chocolates all natural, 72% dark chocolate
bars. They are wrapped, packed and ready to ship. These bars are made
with 72% premium dark chocolate, all natural ingredients and real vanilla, Madelaine’s dark chocolate bars are healthy!
Each bar is divided into three breakaway sections, in anticipation of your
customers increasing demand for individual, controlled portions.
Each section is less than 100 calories!
