Chocolate and Chinese herbs
A Singapore company is selling chocolate that includes Chinese herbs:
“Singapore-based healthcare company Eu Yan Sang is hoping to make an impression on the European chocolate market with a range of sweets containing traditional Chinese herbs.
The company has developed chocolates with ginseng and red date flavours and is planning to trial the products in the domestic market before introducing them to Western consumers.
With the range, Eu Yan Sang is hoping to tap into the allure of traditional Eastern herbs to target the European confectionery market and gain a foothold in the growing functional chocolate sector.
By using the well-known Chinese herb ginseng as an ingredient the company is following the trend for exotic additions to chocolate promising an array of benefits from increasing libido to enhancing mood.
Ginseng is typically taken to enhance stamina and reduce feelings of fatigue and physical stress. It is also believed to have an anti-cancer function and has been reported to normalise blood glucose levels, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of obesity. “
