White Chocolate
Overview
Why eat white chocolate?
White chocolate is cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids with none of the cocoa solids that give dark chocolate its flavanols. The milk brings some calcium, riboflavin and B12, but at 539 kcal and 59 g of sugar per 100 g this is a dessert to enjoy in small squares rather than a food with much to offer nutritionally.
Good to know: One 85 g bar carries 16.5 g of saturated fat, about 83% of a day's limit, plus roughly 50 g of sugar, so a couple of squares is a more sensible portion than the whole bar.
Calcium from milk solids
The milk powder contributes 199 mg of calcium per 100 g, about 15% of the Daily Value, supporting bone structure and normal muscle and nerve signalling.
Riboflavin and B12
Dairy ingredients supply 22% of the Daily Value for riboflavin and 23% for vitamin B12 per 100 g, both needed for energy metabolism and red blood cells.
A little phosphorus
Each 100 g provides 176 mg of phosphorus, 14% of the Daily Value, a mineral that works alongside calcium in bone and in cell energy transfer.
