Hittade de här godingarna :)

Läste en intressant artikel om Kina att inom 5 år kommer den att vara Hershey's näst största marknad och damen man kan tacka heter Jane Xu. Det som är viktigt i Kina är hur paketet eller en vara ser ut, hur den är förpackad och vilka färger, guld verkar ett bra val :) I'm just sayin'....

Olika choklad attraherar olika konsumenter och företaget ser till att det finns en produkt för alla.

Hershey's Jane Xu Taps Into Ways Chinese Love Chocolate

Confectioner Launches Three Brands, Including Milk Candy Created for Local Market

Jane Xu
 
Jane Xu

Jane Xu, Hershey's VP-general manager for Greater China, has overseen the fast growth of Kisses and Hershey bars since taking the helm in 2008, while keeping an objective eye on local tastes and habits.

"We are very disciplined in research," she said. "It's really not about personal judgments, it's about what the consumer tells us, what they want and what are the opportunities for us."

The strategy is paying off: China is set to become the U.S chocolate giant's second-largest market within five years.

This year is an important one for Hershey in China, as the company introduces three new brands. Kisses Deluxe are extra-large Kisses wrapped in gold foil with creamy chocolate filling and a hazelnut. They were created specifically for China, where gifting makes up a significant portion of chocolate sales.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups will initially enter the market in Shanghai, which boasts a high concentration of the important "office lady" demographic.

And there's Lancaster, a milky candy that is the first new Hershey brand to launch outside of its U.S home market. It will be made in China with imported milk.


Milky candy makes up 30% of China's sweets and refreshments category, with a very high growth rate and few players in the high-end segment.


"We think it's a great opportunity for Hershey to enter that segment," Ms. Xu said.

The company also opened an Asia Innovation Center in Shanghai this year, to better develop locally relevant products.

"Jane has a unique ability and capability in managing a fast-growing business and organization," said Peter Smit, Hershey president for Asia, Europe, Middle East and Africa. "There are many moving parts. ... Jane has a unique grasp in mastering this complexity."

Ms. Xu, 44, credits her time as a McKinsey management consultant for her strategic outlook. She also previously founded a Chinese e-commerce company and said she applies that entrepreneurial spirit to her current role "to really build Hershey from a startup stage to a No. 3 player as we can see today."

Här har vi 'the real thing' eller nästan :)

Hej igen!

Det tog lite längre tid att avgöra vilken tryffel var bäst men jag kommer att skriva lite om varje. Jag fick inte tag i en del ingredienser men det få bli en annan gång!Photo: Moose/elk droewors (Swedish version) love the sign :)

Som tur var hade jag en jury som var med och bedömde och gjorde lite som man gör på Halvåttahosmig - poäng!!

Nåväl,  jag gjorde blåbärstryffel, bacontryffel,kallrökt älgkorvstryffel, lingontryffel, chokladtryffel doppad i dill, chokladtryffel doppad i gräslök, chokladtryffel doppad i persilja.

Ok, låt oss börja juryn tyckte så här:

Blåbärstryffel:

Juryns kommentarer:

Giftersig som jordgubbar och grädde - mums!

Choklad och blåbär en bra kombination!

Mjuk, delikat smak, bra blandning.

Poäng 10/10!!

lingontryffel:

Juryns kommentar: bra smak

Poäng: 10/10

Bacontryffel - juryn kunde inte gissa vad det var som var i tryffeln, jag hade stekt baconet ganska knaprigt och sedan smulade ner det i smeten. De gissade på Daim?, Digestive? Mariekex? men bacon va gött!

Men gött var det, mycket gött, smakade som havssalt !

Man skulle vänta lite för att känna smaken!

Poäng: 10/10 8/10

Älgkorven var en mycket trevlig överraskning för smaklökarna. Man trodde det skulle smaka sött men det blev mera sälta som man trodde, men det var himmelskt gött!

Poäng 10/10

Sedan kan vi fortsätta med dilldoppade tryfflar:

Juryns kommentarer:

Len, bra smak, överraskande gött!

Poäng 9/10 8/10

Gräslökdoppade tryfflar: 

Juryns kommentarer:

Gräslöken dämpar chokladsmaken.

Poäng:

6/10 8/10

Persiljadoppade chokladtryfflar:

Känns som kokos men med ingen lukt, eller smak.

Poäng: 



Ok, då kommer vi till vi vinnarna och juryns motivering:

Älgtryffel för att älgen kommer ifrån Sverige och trots att vi använde svenskt bacon anses det mer amerikanskt på nåt vis.

Blåbär för att det kommer ifrån Sverige växer vilt här, och att det var såå himlagött!

Hjortron och knäck få jag återkomma med en annan gång då jag inte hann med!

Jag har samlat på mig en massa ingredienser som jag ska testa under helgen då jag försöker hitta den ultima svenska tryffelen/the Ultimate Swedish Truffle.

Är det en tryffel med hjortron, med blåbär, med lingon, med hallon med lakrits, salmiak eller en tryffel med rökt älgkött (en del dyra chokladmärken har faktiskt bacon i :) eller en tryffel med dill och gräslök? Vi få se vad vi kommer fram till.

Det är kanske bara en tryffel med Löfbergs Lila kaffe och extra smör och grädde.

Varför inte en bearnnaise tryffel, hmm det känns lite komplicerat, men jag tror faktiskt att de flesta gillar knäck i en tryffel så jag ska göra knäck, krossa det och hälla blandningen i min tryffelmix jag tror att resultatet kommer att vara fantastiskt! Jag återkommer med mina resultat :)

Nu har jag lagt upp bilderna från en av helgens chokladverkstäder, kolla gärna under Helgens verkstäder. Här har ni ett litet smakprov på en tryffelblandning som kan bli upp till 240 små gulliga tryfflar :)

Ever heard the expression “As useful as a milk chocolate teapot”? Så nyttigt som en mjölkchokladtekanna :)

The joke is that nobody would want to use milk chocolate to make a teapot, because it would melt as soon as you put any tea in it. However, it turns out that over years people have used chocolate for many more things than just eating.
For instance:

Keeping Your Teeth Healthy

Kakao håller tänderna lika friska som fluor!


At first glance this might seem like an idea up there with chocolate teapots. After all, nobody’s dentist ever told them to eat more sweets. But it’s true! According to researcher Arman Sadeghpour at Tulane University an extract of cocoa powder found in chocolate could be an effective alternative to using fluoride in toothpaste. In fact, if Sadeghpour’s research is correct, the cocoa extract works even better than fluoride when it comes to fighting cavities.

As Legal Tender

Som officiellt betalningsmedel/valuta


Even more popular than “As useful as a chocolate teapot” is the expression “Money doesn’t grow on trees!” Except that once upon a time it did. The ancient civilisation believed to have first discovered chocolate, The Mayans, actually used cocoa beans as money. It was a habit the Astecs picked up as well, even paying their taxes in cacao.

As Fuel

Som bränsle


The chocolate powered car sounds like a dream, or a nightmare if you don’t like the idea of having to share chocolate with your car. Scientists have used surplus chocolate (we weren’t aware there was such a thing) to feed Escherichia coli bacteria, who in turn produce hydrogen, which can be used as a clean power source.

As A Weapon

Som vapen


As we covered recently, during World War II it was believed the Nazis were going to try and assassinate Winston Churchill using a bomb disguised as a bar of milk chocolate. The artist Lawrence Fish was called upon by the secret service to illustrate that new, delicious looking threat. The idea was that when you broke off chocolate from the end of the bar it would reveal “a piece of canvas is revealed stuck into the middle of the piece” which, when pulled on, would activate the bomb.

Fortunately such devices are no longer in use, so you can eat your chocolate in safety.

As Medicine

Som medicin
Over the years people have claimed all sorts of health benefits from eating chocolate, especially dark chocolate. These include everything from aiding the circulatory system to stimulating the brain and preventing coughs. Some have even claimed that chocolate has aphrodisiac tendencies. Those aphrodisiac tendencies have yet to actually be proven by science, but we’ve yet to discover a situation where it’s a bad idea to give your date chocolates...
 
Hoppas ni tyckte det var roligt att läsa!!

jag älskar artiklar där det står att choklad är bra för fölkhälsan :)

Hittade den här på engelska som heter 11 Reasons Chocolate is good for you :)


11 Reasons Chocolate Is Good for Your Health

Jake Heller

Tack Jake för en bra artikel :)
March 28th 20126:07 PM
It turns out that chocolate—especially dark chocolate—reduces body mass, prevents blood clots, improves numeracy, may prevent cancer, and doesn’t ruin your complexion.

A new study suggests that eating chocolate can help you stay thin. Researchers at the University of California-San Diego found that people who frequently eat chocolate have lower body-mass indexes than people who don’t. Other evidence indicates that chocolate can also ward off strokes, heart attacks, and diabetes. So here are 11 reasons to indulge in some s’mores this summer (no word yet on the health benefits of marshmallows) …

1. Chocolate decreases stroke risk

Choklad sänker risk för stroke

A Swedish study found that eating more than 45 grams of chocolate per week—about two bars worth—led to a 20 percent decrease in stroke risk among women. Chocolate contains flavonoids, whose antioxidant properties help fight strokes, the study’s author, Susanna Larsson, told HealthDay.

2. Chocolate reduces the likelihood of a heart attack

Choklad sänker dina chanser att få hjärtinfarkt

Other studies show that eating chocolate prevents blood clots, which in turn reduces the risk of heart attacks. Blood platelets clump together more slowly in chocolate eaters, the studies say.

3. Chocolate protects against blood inflammation

Choklad skyddar mot blodinflammation (vad det än må vara det måste ju vara bra!)

Eat one Hershey’s dark chocolate bar per week, and your risk of heart disease will decrease, a 2008 study found. About 6.7 grams of dark chocolate per day keeps the blood inflammation-inducing proteins away. Just like your mother always told you.

4. Chocolate helps with math

Se upp alla mattelärare låt eleverna få äta choklad på lektionerna!

Choklad hjälper med matte/att räkna

British psychologists found that flavanols (a class of flavonoids, which are found in chocolate) helped people with their mental math. Study subjects had an easier time counting backwards from a randomly-generated number between 800 and 999 after drinking a cup of hot chocolate than they did without the cocoa. “The findings suggest students who binge on chocolate when revising for exams may gain a real benefit from doing so,” the British Telegraph reported.

5. Chocolate may prevent cancer

Choklad kan förebygga cancer :)

Cocoa contains a compound called pentameric procyanidin, or pentamer, which disrupts cancer cells’ ability to spread. When researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University treated cancer cells with pentamer back in 2005, the proteins necessary for cancer growth were suppressed and the cells stopped dividing.

6. Chocolate reduces the risk of diabetes

Choklad sänker risken för diabetes

The Italians know a thing or two about good eating.And a small study from the University of L'Aquila, in Italy, found that eating chocolate increases insulin sensitivity, which reduces the risk of diabetes.

7. Chocolate is good for your skin

Choklad är bra för huden - det visste jag eftersom jag gör ansiktsmasker som är goda och nyttiga :)

“Some people say that I eat too many chocolate bars …” Remember that acne infomercial from the 90s? No? Well, it doesn’t matter. Not only does it not cause breakouts, it’s actually good for your skin! (Well, dark chocolate at least.) Flavonoids found in dark chocolate protect women’s skin from the sun’s UV rays, according toGerman scientists. But that doesn’t mean you can skip the sunscreen.

8. Chocolate can control coughs

Choklad kan kontrollera hostande 

 

The most delicious way to kick your cough, apparently, is chocolate. One of the sweet’s chemical components, theobromine, seems to reduce the activity of the vagus nerve, the part of the brain that triggers coughing fits. Scientists are even working on a cough-quelling drug that uses theobromine in place of codeine—a narcotic common in cough medicine.

9. Chocolate improves blood flow

Choklad förbättrar blodcirkulationen :)

In 2008 Harvard scientists forced test subjects to undergo “two weeks of enhanced chocolate intake.” A fortnight of chocolate face-stuffing, they found, sped up blood flow through their subject’s middle cerebral arteries. In other words, more chocolate means more blood to your brain.

10. Chocolate strengthens your brain

Choklad gör hjärnan starkare

Researchers at  the Johns Hopkins University found that dark chocolate shields cells in your brain, and accordingly protects it from damage caused by stroke. Epicatechin, a compound found in chocolate, significantly reduced the brain damage in mice who suffered strokes, they found. Scientists at California's Salk Institute also found thatepicatechin improved mice’s memories.

11. Chocolate makes you live longer

Choklad ökar livslängden - åh va bra visste det!!

Jeanne Louise Calment lived to the age of 122—the oldest anyone has ever lived. She ate two and a half pounds of dark chocolate per week. Harvard researchers found that eating chocolate actually adds two years to your life expectancy.

But don’t just start binging on chocolate! Most of the chocolate you buy in the grocery store is heavily processed, which means that it has lost many of its healthy chemicals. And some of the research supporting chocolate’s healthy characteristics was paid for by chocolate manufacturers.

Next: Did you know that having sex at least twice a week reduces your risk of a heart attack, speeds up your metabolism, and boosts your immune system?


fantastiskt bra artikel tycker jag och rolig också :)
