What is chocolates negros?

Chocolate negro, also known as dark chocolate, is a type of chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa solids and less milk and sugar compared to milk chocolate. It usually has a bitter taste due to the high amount of cocoa solids, but some brands add additional sugar and flavorings to make it more palatable. The percentage of cocoa solids in chocolate negro can range from 70% to 99%.

Studies have suggested that chocolate negro may have health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, improving brain function, and reducing the risk of heart disease. However, it is important to consume chocolate negro in moderation, as it is still high in calories and can lead to weight gain if consumed in excess.

Chocolate negro is commonly used in baking, cooking, and as a dessert ingredient. Some popular brands of chocolate negro include Lindt, Ghirardelli, Valrhona, and Green & Black's.
