Chocolate with 99 percent cocoa tastes so awful

It is so annoying to listen to those health freaks. They like to talk about organic this organic that, and yet they have so many health problems. I usually do not pay attention to those health freaks. It is so unfortunate that someone in my family likes to listen to those talks. The latest one is about chocolate with 99 percent cocoa content. The taste is so awful. You might as well buy bitter gourd if you want to taste chocolate with so high cocoa content. I like raisins and nuts chocolate. For one thing, it contains raisins which are fruits, and the nuts which are whole food. At least the nutrients are all there, and the chocolate is so sweet and comforting.

I do not pay attention to the brand, especially for cooking chocolate. I just pay attention to the cocoa concentration in the chocolate, and I will avoid buying those supposedly "healthy" bitter dark chocolate

Pure chocolate taste bitter and is not good for eating but it could be used for baking cakes or making ice cream.

Yes, that is true. I rather like the normal sweet chocolate. It sure is better for enjoyment that comes from eating chocolate.

@scheng1 Eating sweet chocolate gives so much pleasure but dark bitter sweet chocolate is very good for the heart.
