To do the unsweetened chocolate and almond biscuits I use a product that is not yet very popular here in Spain, although it is easy to buy it in any organic products store or in herbalists, I mean the almond butter, it is a pasta made with a part of raw almonds and another of toasted almonds, the mixture of the two is what gives it a more intense and special flavor.

Benefits of chocolate 85% cocoa:

Besides being delicious chocolate has beneficial properties for our health, to make sure you always choose a chocolate with a high content of cocoa, I always use chocolates that contain between 81% and 99% cocoa. Normally I prefer the 85% chocolate which, being bitter, is very pleasant on the palate. The amount of sugar in its composition is very low, so we can consume it without remorse, but in moderation, keep in mind that chocolate has enough calories, and although these are not the only thing to consider, they matter, so you do not exceed.

Among its benefits, it should be noted that it is good for the circulatory system, it is an antioxidant, it has an anti-cancer effect and it is a brain stimulator. It is known to reduce insulin resistance, is antidiarrheal and natural cough suppressant.

This product is usually available in herbal stores or organic products stores, it is also advisable to buy it in this type of establishments to make sure it is made with good quality raw material and that it does not carry unwanted additives, read the label and make sure that It does not carry sugar, we want almonds and nothing else.
