Frequently Asked Questions

We consciously crafted bean-to-bar chocolate using two superfoods – Cacao & dates, nothing else. We intentionally wanted to use a sweetener that is rich both in flavor and nutrients to create a memorable guilt free experience.

If you’ve had one of our bars, you’ve noticed the words “indulge freely” printed into each chocolate square. We believe that these two words embody the essence of why The Conscious Bar was created to start with. We wanted to create a line of delicious guilt free chocolate bars that would stand the test of flavor, ethics & environmental responsibility. Rest assured that you can indeed Indulge freely when biting into one of our bars.

We use premium organic ingredients in all the bars to create an unmatched flavor All the Conscious bars are of a minimum of 72% cacao solids. In studies, the consumption of dark chocolate has been shown to lower blood pressure. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants (specifically cocoa polyphenols), which can help to combat free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments.

We decided to sweeten our Chocolate bars with dates not only because of its rich and delicious flavor, but also because of its incredible nutritional value. Dates are stacked with antioxidants and minerals and a whole lot of healthy fibers. Other benefits shown in studies claim that dates can contribute towards helping reduce inflammation, act as an energy booster & promote heart and brain health.

Please refer to our product page for the individual nutritional value of each bar. You'll find the actual nutrition labels within the images section.

The Conscious Bars contain NO added sugar whatsoever. They are gently and naturally sweetened with organic dates, and nothing else. In each bar, you’ll find between 6-9 grams sugar derived directly from the dates for the entire serving (1 full bar).

Direct Trade simply means that through our relationship with our chocolatier, we work directly with our farmers to assure that we compensate them well (and on time) for their hard work. The Fair-trade model was initially put in place to allow a centralized way of protecting the farmers rights and pay. After digging deep into the fair-trade program, we saw that some of the most pressing problems still exist within this model which include lack of transparency on how the farmers get treated as well as how much and when they get paid. The price we pay therefore, is significantly higher than the market price (Fair Trade price). With that said, we have the utmost respect for the Fair-trade foundation as their mission to continue to work hard towards educating ethical and fair practices for farmers all over the world is vital for the preservation and growth of the cacao industry.

Our chocolate should be kept in a cool, shaded place, with a temperature of approx. 60-70 degrees. We do not recommend storing the chocolate in the fridge as it tends to lose its unique natural flavors. As a reminder, we do not use any preservatives or emulsifiers therefore we recommend consuming the chocolate bars within a few weeks of purchase date.
