What it is

Cocoa solids are the non-fat component of the cocoa bean. They are derived from roasted cocoa beans that have been ground into a powder. Cocoa solids provide the characteristic chocolate flavor and color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cocoa solids to provide chocolate flavor, color, and texture. They are a primary ingredient in chocolate, as well as in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and brownies. Cocoa solids can also be found in beverages and confectionery.

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 have been studied for potential health benefits, such as supporting cardiovascular health. However, the effects of cocoa solids at typical consumption levels in processed foods are not well-defined. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, but no specific regulatory limits for cocoa solids are set for general consumption.

Allergen info

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