What it is
Defatted cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans after most of the cocoa butter (fat) has been removed. The remaining solids are dried and ground into a fine powder. It has a rich, chocolatey flavor and aroma.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use defatted cocoa powder to provide a chocolate flavor and dark color in a variety of baked goods and confectionery. It's a key ingredient in cookies, cakes, brownies, and chocolate bars. It can also be used in beverages like hot chocolate.
Health notes
Defatted cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains flavanols, which are antioxidants. Some research suggests flavanols may have benefits for heart health, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI).
Allergen info
Defatted cocoa powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
