Chocolate, cooking

Cooking chocolate is chocolate intended for use in baking and other food preparation. These figures describe the chocolate itself, rather than a finished recipe. It mainly provides carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, it contains 58g of carbohydrate, including 56g of sugars, and 35g of fat, including 28g of saturated fat.

Fat and carbohydrate supply energy. The sugar and saturated fat content are worth noting for people monitoring these in their diet. When cooking chocolate is used as an ingredient, the nutritional content of the finished food also depends on the other ingredients used. Full figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LFRA, Nutrient analysis of miscellaneous foods, 1992.
