Try These Affordable and Mouth-Watering Bean-to-Bar Vegan Chocolates by 'Sigalits & More'

Who doesn’t love chocolates? From kids to adults, everyone has a soft, melty corner for this lovely creation. They are also rich in flavonoids (a type of antioxidant) and when consumed in a controlled manner, are touted to be beneficial for the heart. 
But did you know that a lot of commercially produced chocolates are not even close to what the source – COCOA bean – is or tastes like? Cocoa is very bitter and after processing, it’s sweetened and retailed as the chocolate we all love.

It’s a long process but in short, it involves importing the beans, refining them further by means of winnowing, fermentation, roasting, grinding and more. Chocolate-making is a long process. To make it easier, a lot of companies often source the cocoa powder, rather than going through the whole bean-to-bar process.  But some brands, to ensure the quality of ingredients used and to be able to trace back all ingredients,  start from the very beginning – the cocoa bean.

Many chocolates also use animal milk for flavour and binding. But major brands around the world are coming up with vegan variants and now. Soon, non-vegan chocolates are going to be a thing of the past!

If you are a vegan, or simply avoid dairy we have a recommendation for a wonderful, Indian-origin, bean-to-bar chocolate. Even if you're not a vegan, it's still a great recommendation for you – trust us!

Sigalits is an Indian-origin bean-to-bar, vegan chocolate making company founded by chocolatier Pooja Mondal. She says that making chocolates is a passion for her and wants the Indian audience to consume the best and finest of them. “What started as a passion to make the finest chocolates ended up becoming an obsession for me.” says Pooja. "Making chocolate is an art. It requires a lot of time, patience and energy – but it truly is a labour of love."

Why We are Totally Raving About Them:

Their chocolates are delicious, free of preservatives, gluten-free, palm oil-free, contain 65% cocoa and a cleaner, less refined variant of sugar called muscovado sugar, using which is equivalent to 75% less sugar content as compared to conventional sources of sugar.

Chocolates often come under the radar for the way cocoa farmers, around the world suffer from meagre wages and at some places, are also victim to shameful and regressive practices like slavery. 

‘Sigalits and More’ takes pride in their holistic approach to chocolate, that not only ensures good taste and quality but also attempts to be cruelty-free, in the truest sense of the word.
In their own words,

Chocolate is dear to us, so is our responsibility towards society. We maintain relationships with our cocoa farmers and pay a premium for their cocoa. Moreover, for every bar of chocolate we sell a percentage of the bar goes towards Desire orphanage Society in Mumbai.

As if that wasn't enough, all their bars (55 gram) are priced at just 100 INR!
