Good for the ocean

The MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) blue fish label is an easy way to identify ocean-friendly, sustainable seafood when shopping for your next seafood feast. The blue fish label ensures that you are eating responsibly knowing your fish is as good for the ocean as it is for you. By selecting MSC certified products, you’re encouraging more retailers, restaurants, and other companies to make responsible choices by providing sustainably-sourced seafood.

A new chocolate

Nestlé has announced it has created chocolate made entirely from the cocoa fruit, using the beans and pulp as the only ingredients with no refined sugar added. Until now, chocolate has been made with refined sugars. The new recipe uses only one ingredient (cocoa fruit). Typically,  a large proportion of pulp is removed and, until now, has not been used to naturally sweeten chocolate. The first Nestlé product of this kind will be introduced in Japan with more products coming next year through its popular confectionery brands. Nestle.com
