Curated, not stocked.
Hu's Dark Simple bar earned its place here because the ingredient list is, genuinely, two items long. In a category crowded with unnecessary additives, that restraint matters. Our doctors recommend it to patients who want to satisfy a chocolate craving without refined sugar or emulsifiers — and who benefit from being able to account precisely for what they've consumed. It's a small thing done properly.
About this product
Dark - Simple
Hu Chocolate's Dark Simple bar is about as stripped back as chocolate gets. Two ingredients: organic cacao and coconut sugar. Nothing else. No emulsifiers, no refined sugar, no long list of additives you have to look up. The result is a dark chocolate that tastes like the cacao itself — direct, slightly fruity, with the natural bitterness you'd expect from a quality dark bar.
It suits anyone who wants a piece of chocolate without negotiating with a complicated ingredient list. That includes people managing refined sugar intake, those who prefer minimally processed food, and anyone who simply values knowing exactly what they're eating. It fits neatly into an afternoon break, alongside coffee, or as a small reward after a meal.
Coconut sugar is a lower-glycaemic alternative to refined white sugar, which means it releases energy more gradually — though this is still a treat, not a functional food. What earns this bar its place is the formulation philosophy: the absence of ingredients that don't need to be there is the feature. Hu built their reputation on removing everything extraneous from chocolate, and this bar is the clearest expression of that. For a clinic that asks patients to read ingredient labels, it's easy to recommend something with only two lines to read.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What are the ingredients in this bar?
Organic cacao and coconut sugar — that's the complete list. There are no emulsifiers, flavourings, or refined sugars.
Is coconut sugar better for blood sugar than regular sugar?
Coconut sugar has a lower glycaemic index than refined white sugar, meaning it may cause a more gradual rise in blood glucose. That said, it is still a sugar, so it should be enjoyed in moderation — particularly if you are managing blood sugar levels.
Is this bar suitable for people avoiding dairy?
The listed ingredients — organic cacao and coconut sugar — contain no dairy. However, if you have a dairy allergy, check the packaging for any allergen or cross-contamination notices, as manufacturing conditions can vary.
Can I eat this as part of a low-sugar diet?
This bar contains coconut sugar rather than refined sugar, which some people following lower-sugar or cleaner diets find more acceptable. Check the packaging for the specific sugar content per serving to decide whether it fits your targets.
How does this compare to standard dark chocolate bars?
Most commercial dark chocolate bars include soy lecithin, vanilla flavouring, or other additives alongside refined sugar. This bar uses only two ingredients, making it notably simpler in composition — which is the main reason we stock it.
