The Whole Truth: The Healthier Chocolate?

 

Here’s the whole truth, we love chocolates, we all do. They’re a treat: to the eyes, to the mouth, to bad days, to good days, to celebrate, you get the gist. But there is also another whole truth:  that consuming a lot of chocolates might not be good for your teeth or your body, mainly because of the large amount of sugar that is present.

I have always shared and been curious about alternatives to chocolates as you can see in my Vegan Chocolate in Nepal , The Healthier Version of Ice-cream? or Snack Bars : Your Ultimate Hiking Companion. I have always been open to healthier options because I do not believe and have never believed that healthier alternatives cannot taste good and it was this very perspective that made me want to try The Whole Truth (TWT) chocolates, and that is in fact, when I struck a goldmine.

TWT presents the healthier chocolates with no sugar and no preservatives. Their solution? Chocolates sweetened with dates. It was what caught my eye when they popped up on my Instagram one day.


They had milk chocolates, dark chocolates and in so many flavors like hazelnut, orange peel, sea salt and almonds. I was curious, would chocolates sweetened with dates taste different? Would the texture be different? Would I like the taste? Would it be as good? There was only one way to find out.

I was more than excited when my order arrived, mainly because of their packaging: it is gorgeous. It tells you all about what happens at the TWT factory and how much effort is put in every single bar of chocolate. And not only the making of the chocolate, much thought and effort has also been put in each package of chocolate.

Unlike chocolate bars that come in regular rectangular pieces that you can break, TWT chocolates come in all different portions that read XXL, XL,L,M,S, and XS. The idea is that the portions are when you need a bigger doses of chocolates or when you just need a little snack; not all cravings are same, so why should the portions be? It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen, both the chocolate and the idea and they are unlike any other chocolate I have ever had. And coming from a fellow chocolate lover who has consumed a massive number of chocolates in various time periods of her life, believe me this is a huge compliment coming from me.

The hazelnut chocolate that we had answered was everything it promised to be. It is the perfect amount of smooth, the perfect amount of sweetness, not too sweet but just sweet enough to make it not too bitter. The generous amount of hazelnuts engrossed in the chocolate made it that much better.

You should check out their Instagram page : thewholetruthfoods  and their website : https://linkin.bio/thewholetruthfoods , chocolates are the only thing they make, they also make protein bars, peanut butter, chocolate spreads and they are only growing.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

  I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
