Avocado-banana-cacao mousse
The rule of thumb is the darker the chocolate, the better. The more Cacao it contains, the more good juju it holds and, of course, less of the not so good stuff, like sugar and other additives.
Simply by looking at the labels at some of the popular, commercial chocolates you can come to the conclusion that they should best be avoided. You can find some artificial colors, preservatives and E-numbers.
Labelling laws mean that even if you look closely, all the information you want may not be there, so be careful.
Ideally, we should go for products that have gone through the minimum of processing. A short ingredient list is a very good sign!
