 NewTree, a Belgian chocolatier with its American outpost in San Anselmo, introduced its new line of Alpha chocolate bars at the Fancy Food Show. Here's a sweeter way to get your omega 3 fatty acids (mostly through the inclusion of flax seeds) without having to go the route of smelly fish oil. The Piment is a dark chocolate bar with flax, puffed rice, and a serious, lingering chile bite. Look for this soon at local shops that stock New Tree, such as Rainbow Grocery (1745 Folsom).

Looks like Newtree was "inspired" by nyc based Vere Chocolate in terms of packaging and launching chocolates with "health benefits." Vere has been making high quality and healthy (high cocoa content, low sugar, high fiber, all natural etc) chocolates for years. This is what happens when companies care about the bottom line by jumping on trend bandwagons rather than creating original products.
