What it is

Cocoa solids are the non-fat component of the cacao bean, which is the source of chocolate. After roasting and grinding cacao beans, cocoa butter (the fat) is removed, leaving behind cocoa solids. These solids are then often processed into a powder.

Why it's used

Cocoa solids provide the characteristic chocolate flavor and color in foods. They are a primary ingredient in chocolate bars, candies, and baked goods like cookies and cakes. They can also be found in beverages and dairy products seeking a chocolate taste.

Health notes

Cocoa solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They contain flavanols, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. While research is ongoing, some studies suggest potential benefits for heart health and cognitive function at typical consumption levels. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products.

Allergen info

Cocoa solids are not derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
