Consumption advice
The golden base for home-made keto chocolate and “fat bombs”; it gives pure fat energy and hours of fullness without triggering the hunger hormone.
Best preparation methods
Melt it gently over a water bath (bain-marie) and mix with raw cacao powder and monk-fruit sweetener to make healthy dark chocolate bars that beat the shop-bought kind.
Important Nutritional Note
It contains no carbohydrate at all, so the glycemic index does not apply; it is rich in stearic acid, a unique saturated fat that does not raise LDL cholesterol.
