What it is

Low fat cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans after most of the cocoa butter (fat) has been removed. The remaining solids are ground into a fine powder. It has a less intense chocolate flavor and a lighter color than natural cocoa powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use low fat cocoa powder to provide a chocolate flavor and color in baked goods and confectionery. Its lower fat content can affect texture, making it suitable for recipes where a less rich chocolate taste is desired, such as in some cakes and cookies.

Health notes

Low fat cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Cocoa contains flavanols, which are antioxidants. Some research suggests potential cardiovascular benefits from flavanol consumption, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products.

Allergen info

Low fat cocoa powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
