Dark chocolate (also known as black chocolate or plain chocolate) is a form of chocolate which has a higher content of cocoa butter and less milk than other forms of chocolate. Government and industry standards of what products may be labeled "dark chocolate" vary by country and market.
Dark chocolate contains antioxidants, such as polyphenols, and is relatively low in sugar. It has a reputation as a healthier alternative to other types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate. Dark chocolate has been identified as a potential "superfood". This has helped lead to a global increase in demand for dark chocolate.
