Looking to switch up your go-to chocolate? If you're anything like us, you have high standards for the food you eat. So here's 5 things to look out for when choosing your next bar.

 

1 - No Weird Ingredients

 

Are you fed up of looking at the back of your food and seeing a million ingredients on there, half of which you can't pronounce? Same. 

 

Chocolate doesn't need a lot to make it taste great. Cocoa, cocoa butter, and some sugar (preferable real rather than artificial). 

 

Ultra-processed bars have ingredients like emulsifiers and fillers to bulk out the product and make it easier to mass-produce. 

 

(But Hu Chocolate doesn't have any of that. Our Simple bars are only made up of organic cocoa, organic cocoa butter and organic unrefined coconut sugar - with our other bars containing things like organic nuts and mint oil to add to the flavour. All real ingredients, and only things to make them taste great)

 

2 - Real, Unrefined Sugar

 

If you're able to have sugar in your chocolate, we would recommend looking for one without refined sugar (like white cane sugar, for example). This is a type of ultra-processed sugar that will contribute more to those pesky glucose spikes. 

 

If you're not able to have any sugar at all, just be on the lookout for "sugar-free" chocolates that actually contain artificial sweeteners that can be harmful to digestion. 

 

(Hu Chocolate contains real, unrefined, organic coconut sugar - giving that sweet treat taste without the over-processing)

 

3 - Ethical Production

 

Particularly in the cocoa world, it's really important to make sure that the company aligns with your values for the environment and humanity. 

 

Don't choose between better-for-you and better-for-the-planet - choose a chocolate bar that delivers both. 

 

(At Hu, our high quality chocolate is sourced from Sierra Leone and we're proudly both organic and fairtrade. From bean to bar, we put Humanity at the forefront of everything we do)

 

4 - Diet-Friendly

 

If you follow a specific diet (eg Paleo, Keto, gluten or dairy free), you can usually find chocolate that fits in with each particular need. 

 

Chocolate should be a guilt-free indulgence, a sweet treat that still manages to fit in with your lifestyle. 

 

(Because Hu Chocolate's ingredient list is so simple, it can fit in to a lot of dietary restrictions. Keto, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Diary-Free and Vegan are all good with Hu!) 

 

5 - Great Taste

 

Really this should be number 1. What is the point of finding chocolate that hits all the above, but taste like rubbish? 

 

Not to brag (okay maybe a bit of a brag) but Hu is vegan. Hu is organic. Hu is better-for-you AND better-for-the-planet. No artificial ingredients, emulsifiers, fillers.

 

But we don't TASTE it. 

 

We're not just saying this, Hu is downright delicious. All you have to do is look at some of our reviews from real life customers and you'll see how good it really is. 

 

When you choose Hu, you really can have it all.
