2007 Health Trends - Chocolate & Chocolate Fountains

2007 Health Trends as cited in Asian Restaurant News (January 2007), discuss "smaller quantity and bigger taste" with a focus on health. We too have seen this trend locally but what is surprising is the foods cited as healthy, and it includes Chocolate! I can't imagine a women out there who won't jump for joy over this!

Chocolate & Chocolate Fountains
As a major chocolate fountain distributor and chocolate equipment distributor, it's exciting to learn of the possibility of chocolate in small portions being considered healthy. It's common knowledge that Chocolate has long been considered a 'sweet' but not necessarily a food, and certainly not a healthy one! However, the healthy aspect seems to primarily be limited to dark chocolate as the beneficial properties are more concentrated.

Chocolate is consumed in many forms, including multiple tiered Chocolate Fountains that have become very popular with caterers and chefs around the world. They are often found gracing special events like wedding receptions and large charitable and corporate events. Chocolate & Chocolate Fountains are provided by The Chocolate Fountain.com.

A commercial chocolate fountain is a multi-tiered stainless steel piece of equipment that warms chocolate and keeps it in a liquid state, so it can be transported through an inner tube using a large cork screw or auger system, allowing the chocolate to gently flow elegantly over each tier in a continual motion. Guests dip fresh fruits and pastry items into the flowing fountain of chocolate shaped like a wedding cake. However, they may now be able to enjoy the moment without guilt!

Other foods cited as healthy, served in small quantities, that pack a punch when it comes to flavor, include: potatoes, nuts and butter, spices, and tea.
