Does chocolate have a lot of caffeine?

Posted by

When you are low on energy and need a bit of a boost, some people turn to coffee to give them that pick me up. And others will grab a chocolate bar to power them through. With that in mind, does chocolate have caffeine in it? And if so, how much?

Before we get to the caffeine content, remember we make chocolate from cocoa beans which we liquefy, producing butter and solids, caffeine is found only in the cocoa solids. 

The caffeine content in chocolate depends on the type, except white chocolate, which has no caffeine. The darker the chocolate, the higher the caffeine amount. 

Milk chocolate contains nine milligrams (mg) of caffeine per 1.5 ounces. In comparison, dark chocolate has 12 mg per once ounce. When comparing that to coffee, the average cup of coffee has 95 mg. So, if you’re looking to replace your morning cup of Joe with a chocolate bar and want the same effect, you may still want to keep that cup of coffee on hand. 

However, these numbers can also vary as some chocolate bars, such as energy bars, will have more caffeine added. It’s always best to read the labels if you want less or more of a boost.

When comparing that to coffee, the average cup of coffee has 95 mg. 

Cocoa beans also contain Theobromine, which gives dark chocolate its bitter taste. Theobromine may have anti-inflammatory properties and lower tumor growths. It’s naturally occurring and can even help boost mood and alertness. Just don’t consume too much as it can have a negative effect on your mood. And if you’re caffeine sensitive, you may not want to eat chocolate so close to bedtime. 

Dark chocolate is especially good for you as it can boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, improve brain functions, and have many other health benefits.

Now while chocolate isn’t a replacement for your cup of coffee, it doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy it. And at Lazar’s Chocolate, we have plenty of dark and milk chocolate products for you. From handcrafted chocolates to the standard solid chocolate bar. We also carry themed chocolates for various functions and holidays such as graduations, teacher and student appreciation, and many more.

What Chocolate is Kosher for Passover?

Posted by

Even if you don’t practice a Kosher diet, you’ve probably heard of Kosher before. But what does Kosher mean? Kosher is a specific type of product that Jewish people are okay to eat. These products are specifically important during Jewish holidays such as Hanukkah and Passover. 

Passover celebrates the Jewish people’s liberation from slavery during early Egyptian times. In Hebrew, it’s spelled as Pesah, and in Judaism, Pesach. 

This year, Passover starts on April.16 and ends on April.23. During the first night, families will gather together for a large feast called the seder. And sometimes, it is referred to as the Festival of Unleavened Bread. 

A seder is a plate of traditional Jewish foods, including matzo ball soup, gefilte fish, brisket, roast chicken, potato kugel, and tzimmes, which is like a vegetable stew—consisting of carrots, prunes, and sometimes sweet potatoes or regular potatoes. 

Passover is a time for rejoicing and celebrating, and it’s during this time when Kosher foods are essential. 

The word “kosher” actually comes from a Hebrew word meaning “fit,” so any food product labeled “kosher” is okay for them to consume. Examples of kosher products are milk, beef, chicken, salmon, and tuna. 

Some other terms kosher terms include: 

Kosher-pareve: These products are made without any meat, milk, or derivatives. Our pareve products include dark chocolate, mints, espresso beans, and rum cordials. 

Glatt: The term glatt refers to anything with meat in it. Our chocolates do not contain any meat. 

If chocolate isn’t your thing, we have other sweet Kosher treats such as assorted fruit, licorice bites, and Twizzlers. 

Most people who practice a Kosher diet require the food products to be labeled Kosher certified before consuming them. While others only need to know if they’re made with Kosher ingredients. 

For Passover, we have many treats for you to enjoy. They include chocolate bars, Matzoh, chocolate, fruit and nut platters, chocolate-covered macaroons, Passover frogs, Passover Sedar plate, Jelly Fruit slices, etc. 

Not all of our Kosher products are certified, so if that’s a concern. It’s a good idea to read the labels before purchasing. 

At Lazar’s, we want to wish all a Happy Passover to all our celebrating customers. 

For more information on our Kosher products and to place an order for your celebration, visit our website or call us at 516-829-5785. We will answer any questions you may have.
