Chocolate Pills and Cocoa Pasta

I recently read about a new product launch from Spanish chocolates manufacturer, Pancracio.  They offer several unique chocolate items but perhaps they have come up with their most unique one yet - Chocolate Pills.

This product claims all kinds of health benefits without the added sugar and fat of eating chocolate. 

The pill contains 90% cocoa.  It is called “one a day” – Uno Al Dia.

Personally, I’d rather eat chocolate once a day and enjoy both the flavor benefits as well as any health benefits!

Of course my curiosity drove me to visit their website, www.pancracio.com, where I discovered one of Pancracio’s specialties is the Turron. 

Turrones are mostly unfamiliar to most people living in the U.S.  They are typically nougat confections made of honey, sugar, egg whites, toasted almonds or other nuts, and shaped into a rectangular tablet.  Pancracio has a varied selection of Turrones, enrobed in milk, dark and white chocolates.

Another interesting product is their Cocoa Pasta.  It is a Fusilli pasta containing cocoa.  The pasta is not sweet and I bet it is delicious served with a spicy chicken mole.
