Tag: Theobromine free

Most people know that dark chocolate is bad for dogs because of a compound called theobromine, but what about the types of chocolate humans eat? The short answer is that no traditional, cocoa-based chocolate is truly free of this bitter alkaloid, although some options contain significantly less of it.

According to nutritional studies, carob powder provides approximately three times more calcium than cocoa powder while containing no caffeine or theobromine. This makes carob an excellent option for those searching for a chocolate substitute that has no caffeine.
