Market Driver

Proven Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate to Augment Demand

Chocolate products are not only pleasurable to the taste buds, but they also boast of a variety of health benefits, especially dark chocolate. A study published in Chemistry Central Journal revealed that compared to blueberries and acai berries as well as many other fruits, dark chocolate and cocoa have more antioxidants, flavanols, and polyphenols.

Moreover, a bar of dark chocolate contains substantial amount of fiber, iron, and copper, along with a host of other minerals. Another study published by the National Institutes of Health suggested that dark chocolate reduces blood pressure as the flavanols present in them can stimulate the lining of arteries and lower resistance to blood flow. However, the debate is still ongoing whether the blood pressure-related benefits actually occur and to what extent. Nonetheless, the health advantages of dark chocolate products are largely undeniable, which favors the growth of this market.
