What it is

100% cacao chocolate chips are made from roasted cacao beans, which are ground into a paste called chocolate liquor. This liquor is then cooled and solidified into chips. Cacao beans are the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, native to Central and South America.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use 100% cacao chocolate chips primarily for their intense, unsweetened chocolate flavor. They are often found in baked goods like cookies and brownies, as well as in trail mixes and as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal.

Health notes

100% cacao is considered a whole food ingredient. It contains flavanols, a type of antioxidant. Some studies suggest flavanols may support heart health, but more research is needed. The FDA does not specifically regulate 100% cacao chips as an additive, as they are a direct food ingredient. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI) for cocoa itself.

Allergen info

100% cacao chocolate chips are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
