Nutritiously tasty romantic desserts for Valentine’s day celebration

Nutritious and romantic? Aren't those two words contradictory? Isn't the combination very weird and unlikely? Turns out… no! Before we proceed to understand, learn and incorporate these healthy items to our dessert recipes, there is only one thing that you need to understand - anything is possible with just the right amount of creativity!

Healthy tasty romantic food items

There are certain food items like strawberries which make up for both nutritious and romance filled. But strawberries are in fact known for their nutritional value and for their sensuous status. Not to mention that they are the most popular berry fruit in the world (there are more than six hundred strawberry varieties, both wild and farm-cultivated).

Their romance stems in part (pardon the pun) from their simple heart-shaped appearance. A natural for Valentine's Day indeed.

When these simple fruits become full-fledged chocolate covered strawberries - now you are talking serious romance and indulgence. The strawberry has been idolised in a number of movies as a romantic food and is a very popular present for loved ones - not only in that February holiday - but for any romantic occasion when trying to impress or give rewards and love to others.

While you are feeling good and indulging your senses however, you will also be loading your body with solid and needed nutrients. You cannot quite say that about a glazed donut or a bag of chips. With this healthful choice, you get over 125% of your daily required Vitamin C in one simple cup of strawberries.

When you actually eat chocolate covered strawberries, you are getting two sources of anti-cancer value. Strawberries have ellagitannin. This is a chemical which studies have shown associated with decreased cancer rate deaths and inhibition of abnormal cell growth. The magic of eating whole foods for your nutrition is the interplay of all the enzymes, minerals, and natural processes. Synergistically they do their best work, work that we still don't exactly know how they all come together for the best benefits. Luckily nature makes it pretty simple for us.

The red berry fruit also is a big source of phenols. Anthocyanin specifically is heart-healthy. It gives the strawberry its deep red colour. It is a big-time antioxidant which we all know are crucial to ingest as that helps neutralise free radicals.

Now you want to make sure that you are getting them dipped in dark chocolate, because this has much less sugar content than milk chocolate. Dark chocolate is typically about 65% cacao content. Just ask the company if you are buying them. If you make them yourself by heating some chocolate on the stove in a pan, then you know what to get.

Should you decide on milk or white chocolate, that's perfectly fine, but know that those are higher sugar content. This means you are losing more of the cacao ratio and some of the health benefits. But hey, you are not taking a health education class, we are wanting to have a good time here with these! And if you are really looking to impress, tell them you have got some Fragaria Virginiana with Cacao waiting for them. You see, that is the scientific name for chocolate covered strawberries. You will be looking like ‘smarty pants’ but just keep it modest, and maybe next time around you'll get some of these good dessert treats sent to you.

Keep these ingredients in your mind while ordering or purchasing any dessert from Cake Delivery in Nagpur services. Or you could search for recipes that catch your fancy that can be made all by yourself, that too, with the most logical addition of these healthy hearty and soothingly romantic food items and ingredients.
