Good-tasting product and improvement over
candy,
This
review is from: TERRA NOSTRA organic Ricemilk Choco Bar, 3.5-Ounce Bars
(Pack of 12) (Grocery)
The clever name is instructive: conventional
chocoLATE--"latte" refers to dairy-based. So, for those trying to avoid dairy,
this company uses rice milk. What is rice milk? Any grain can be made into a
substitute milk by cooking the grain with at least 5x the amount of water, which
will yield a milk-like substance after cooking.Also, it is sweetened with unrefined cane, which has some of the nutrients lost when refined into white sugar. While not as optimal a sweetener as stevia or agave, it is less deleterious.
In the end, this ricechoco has a taste very close to good chocolate, will not cause the mucuous-like symptoms that dairy-sensitive people experience, and will cause less of a "sugar-rush-then crash" when consuming conventional chocolate bars.
