Chocolate and Wine - a double serving of flavanoids.

Flavanoids are water soluble plant pigments that provide an array of health benefits. Most of them come in coloured forms and can be found in foods like red grapes, strawberries, oranges, pink grapefruit, blueberries, etc.

Chocolates are also known to be a rich source of flavanoids - providing great benefits for the heart. It is a great tasty food and has been enjoyed by many people since it was first discovered centuries ago by the Aztecs during the reign of Emperor Montezuma.

High in energy and rich in carbohydrates, fats, and vegetable proteins, chocolate has large quantities of potassium and magnesium, some calcium and sodium, and vitamins A1, B1, B2, D, and E.
