About Chocolate, dark, 60-69% cacao solids
Dark chocolate at 60 to 69 percent cacao shifts the balance noticeably toward cocoa and away from sugar compared to lower-percentage bars. Fat climbs as cocoa butter increases, while the sweetness pulls back. Fiber from the cocoa solids is meaningful, and protein ticks upward. The flavor becomes more complex - bitter, fruity, and slightly astringent depending on the bean origin. At this cacao level, the chocolate starts to function differently as an ingredient in baking and cooking, contributing depth rather than just sweetness. Still approachable for most dark chocolate eaters.
