What it is

Non-GMO cocoa powder is made from dried and ground cocoa beans, the seeds of the cacao tree. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and then ground into a powder. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the cacao beans were not genetically modified.

Why it's used

Cocoa powder is primarily used to impart a chocolate flavor and color to foods. It is a key ingredient in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and muffins, as well as in candies, ice cream, and beverages. It can also contribute to the texture of some products.

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. Some research suggests potential benefits for heart health, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products. Evidence on the health effects of cocoa at typical consumption levels is mixed and ongoing.

Allergen info

Cocoa powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
