What it is
Organic cocoa paste is made from roasted, ground cocoa beans. It is the base ingredient for chocolate and contains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter. The 'organic' designation means it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Why it's used
Cocoa paste provides the characteristic chocolate flavor and color in foods. It's used in a wide variety of products, including chocolate bars, baked goods like cookies and cakes, ice cream, and beverages. It contributes to the texture and richness of these items.
Health notes
Organic cocoa paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains flavanols, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, noting potential health benefits associated with flavanol intake. However, the health effects of cocoa paste are primarily linked to the overall food product it is in, including added sugars and fats.
Allergen info
Cocoa paste is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
