This Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is a healthier and more nutrient dense version of a popular European spread.
Featured Ingredients
Unsweetened cocoa powder is a phenomenal source of polyphenols, containing a whopping 2249.2 mg of polyphenols per 1-ounce serving! To put that in perspective, fruits and veggies typically contain 200-300 mg of polyphenols per 100-grams (3.5 ounces). That means ounce per ounce cocoa powder contains over 25 times more polyphenols! In addition, per serving unsweetened cocoa powder delivers at least 10% or more of the daily value of 9 other nutrients.
