Welcome to Day #25 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.

Today's Again Rhubarb and Ginger Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Bar was made in the U.K. by Chocolarder (Falmouth, Cornwall, UK).

Chocolarder's "Again" series of bars highlights creative ways the company is reducing (and upcycling) food waste through their bean to bar process.

Today's bar included surplus breakfast bar ingredients. The ginger and rhubarb (and perhaps the apple fibre) in today's bar were from the Wonki Collective (London, UK). The cocoa hailed from Three Mountains, Ghana. And the ginger was from Seram Island, Indonesia.

This bar was made up of two sides (side by side, together): a 50% dark milk chocolate and ginger side, and a "white" chocolate rhubarb + apple side. (The view looking down on this bar was similar to looking down at the famous confluence of the two great Amazon River tributaries (Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes) in Brazil.*)

The dark milk side was smooth, tasty and chocolate-y with a warm infusion of ginger. Spiced, but not overly so. The white chocolate rhubarb (and apple fibre) side was quite tart and tangy, and fun to try.

Rhubarb is a vegetable, but this bar did contain some apple. (And, I paired this bar with an authentic apple muffin and apple cider, resulting in a delicious Autumn day.)

Texture: This well-tempered bar broke (across both dark and light sides) with an attractive snap. Both sides were relatively smooth and creamy in terms of melt and mouthfeel. The added ginger and rhubarb seemed to be well integrated with the base dark milk and white chocolate, respectively.

I appreciated the company using their "Again" line of bars to highlight a truly massive issue, food waste.** The Chocolarder Again Fig bar (featured yesterday, embodied a great solution -- it made excellent use of rum-soaked figs from a distillery) and was quite good. And I look forward to trying other bars in this line. I also enjoyed the texture and flavors in this bar, and the short list of thoughtful ingredients.

Ingredients: "Ginger Milk Chocolate: Cocoa Beans; Unrefined Sugar, Milk Powder, Crystalised Ginger, Milk Chocolate Contains 50% Min. Cocoa Solids, 14% Min. Milk Solids; Rhubarb: Cocoa Butter, Unrefined Sugar, Rhubarb, Apple Fibre."

*These two rivers are so large that they flow almost side by side for six kilometers before their colors mix together. Rio Negro is dark brown in color, and Rio Solimoes is a lighter cafe latte color. This dual-hued phenomenon is known in South America as "The Meeting of (the) Waters." 

And, yes, cacao and cupuacu (a Theobroma relative) grow near the banks of the Amazon River in this province of Brazil.

**Food waste stats printed on the inside of the (recyclable) Chocolarder bar wrapper included the following info:

"1.4 Billion hectares of land, 28% of the world's agricultural area, is used annually to produce food that is lost or wasted."

"If 25% of the food currently being lost or wasted globally was saved, it would be enough to feed 870 million people around the world"

"Almost 2 million tonnes of food waste in the UK comes from the food industry, and currently less than 1% is recycled for human consumption."

""40% of food produced never makes it to a supermarket"
