Happy New Year! May 2024 bring great richness of all the tastes. Dark chocolate warms the heart and the abdomen while the Flavanols improve mood. Dark chocolate also provides the much needed bitter taste and are known as the opposite of the sweet taste. Eating bitter foods helps curb cravings. This is best for Kapha but as dark chocolate is stimulating and has caffeine it may aggravate Pitta and Vata. For Vata dosha it is best to add a natural sweetener.
