Total Raw Food’s Real Purple Bar

May 2nd, 2008 by Terry

The second of three reviews of these unique bars from Total Raw Food. The Real Purple bar is another 58% minimum cocoa solids, 40g raw cacao bar, except this time, it has this purple corn added to the mix. Now, I don’t even know what purple corn is, so once again I have no idea what to expect from this.

The bar looks the same as ever, the only difference between all of these in terms of looks are their colours. The ingredients list looks nice: virgin cacao butter, agave nectar, cacao powder, carob powder, sesame seeds, purple corn powder (0.7%) and trace of sea salt. It’s a refreshing list to look at, and all ingredients are sourced ethically. Lovely.

The bar retains a vast number of the same characteristics as yesterday’s bar, such as the greasy feel of the chocolate, the slightly off-texture, and the soft, truffley centre.

When it comes to taste, again there are a lot of similarities. it retains the same musky, deep flavours that the previous bar had, though once again I’m unsure as to what exactly the purple corn adds, as in all honesty it tastes extremely similar to the real blue bar.

So, is it nice? Yeah, it certainly is. It’s a bit different, it’s deep and rich, different to any processed chocolate, but I just can’t help but feel that these flavours they add are just a little pointless.

    I would totally get rung in by the pretty, classical and tasteful packaging.

    Greasy, you say? Ich.

    Ooh, I could feel the sarcasm from here, that was heavy. To clear up the packaging completely, it’s a plastic packet surrounded by a plain piece of paper with that stuff printed on the front, and nothing on the inside. Very minimalist.
