Growing up, I was taught that labels aren’t important. You don’t have to get the fancy brand of clothes, accessories or food to get your money’s worth. Though it was true that labels don’t make or break me, it turns out they do matter. Environment-friendly products are all the rage these days and companies are fully aware of that trend; therefore, natural and organic labels are showing up all over the place. Many people do not know that there is a difference between natural and organic products–an important difference.

The organic label has more to do with the growing process of cocoa beans. According to U.S. regulations, a product qualifies as organic when it is grown and processed free from the use of pesticides or chemicals. In order for a product to be labeled as organic, it must be inspected and approved by the United States Department of Agriculture. Simply put, organic cocoa comes from beans and trees grown without chemicals or pesticides.

The FDA has not yet given a definition for the label of products as natural; however, products that are labeled as natural cannot contain any artificial flavors, colors or substances. In chocolate, natural cocoa is pure cocoa beans roasted and ground to a powder. Natural cocoa is stronger and harsher tasting than Dutch-processed cocoa, which has additives to tame the flavor. Natural cocoa is commonly labeled as unsweetened cocoa powder while Dutch-processed cocoa will have “cocoa processed with alkali” listed in the ingredients.

It’s important to understand the labels on products because as it turns out, they do matter. there are differences between natural and organic cocoa, and although one is not better than the other, it helps to know which is which so you can make an educated decision. Either way, it’s important to know what you’re putting in your body if you truly want to lead a healthy lifestyle. Not all labels are important but the ones on food labels may affect you more than you think.
