What it is
Cocoa powder is made from roasted cocoa beans, which are dried, shelled, and ground. The fat (cocoa butter) is often removed, leaving a dry powder. It provides a rich chocolate flavor and dark brown color.
Why it's used
Cocoa powder is used to add chocolate flavor and color to a wide variety of foods. It is a key ingredient in baked goods like cakes and cookies, as well as in ice cream, chocolate bars, and beverages.
Health notes
Cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains flavanols, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa preparations, and EFSA has evaluated cocoa powder. Research into the health effects of cocoa flavanols is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for heart health at typical consumption levels, while others show mixed results.
Allergen info
Cocoa itself is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
