Learn about the nutritional differences in these similar foods. 7 JUL July 7 is World Chocolate Day We recommend a couple of healthy recipes for these two foods, how delicious they are. The chocolate is a food very appealing capable of creating addiction, and whose main problem is that it has a high caloric committed. If we drink chocolate, it is recommended that it be at least 80% pure. On the other hand, we have the carob, which due to its organoleptic characteristics, very similar to chocolate, is used as a substitute for it, especially due to intolerances to this food or in low-calorie diets. Our nutrition team shows you the benefits of each of these foods , and suggests two delicious recipes to suck your fingers. Write down and put this culinary knowledge into practice! Chocolate benefits: It prevents heart disease, lowers blood pressure, strengthens mood, reduces cardiovascular accidents, is rich in magnesium, rich in antioxidants that help prevent aging, helps strengthen muscle and gives us constant energy, which favors the physical activity on a more continuous basis .

Antes de apagar el fuego, añade el sirope y remueve un poco antes de sacar del fuego. Dejar que se enfríe y verter en un recipiente que se pueda dejar dentro del congelador y tenga tapa. Dejarlo 12 horas y estará listo para servir. Beneficios de la algarroba: La primera diferencia con el chocolate es que la algarroba es alcalinizante y el chocolate acidificante. Otra diferencia es que la algarroba no contiene cafeína, ni ácido oxálico (es un compuesto que impide la absorción de calcio y hierro), pero sobre todo la gran diferencia es que el chocolate es rico en grasas y en azúcares y es mucho más calórico que la algarroba, que es más natural y con menos manipulación. Además, la algarroba es rica en hierro, calcio, magnesio, fosforo, vitaminas del grupo B, en fibra y en betacarotenos. También es pobre en sodio y rica en potasio, por lo que a las personas que tienen retención de líquidos les puede beneficiar su consumo. FLAN DE ALGARROBA Ingredientes para dos personas: ½ of carob flour, cup of cornstarch, 1 liter of soy milk, drops of natural vanilla, 3 tablespoons of honey, water (necessary amount) Steps for preparation: Place the milk in a saucepan together with the natural vanilla essence and bring to the fire until it boils. Separately, dissolve the carob flour and cornstarch with water and add to the previous preparation. Cook for a few minutes over low heat while stirring to avoid lumps.
