Good Idea: Chocolate without added sugar
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/01/scientists-develop-method-of-making-healthier-more-sustainable-chocolate
The researchers used the waste flesh and juice of the cocoa fruit to make a gel that can be added to chocolate instead of powdered crystalline sugar that is traditionally used.
The study found that in a lab the new method used 6% less land and water but increased planet-heating emissions by 12% because it required an extra drying step that consumed large amounts of energy.
But by scaling up the process – and drying the pulp in the sun or using solar panels – they found that greenhouse gas emissions could fall.

Chocolate is basically a pumpkin and so far we are only using the seeds.
