pure cocoa powder description
pure cocoa powder is a powder which is obtainer from cocoa solids, one of the two components of chocolate liquor. Chocolate liquor is a substance which is obtainer during the manufacturing process which turns cocoa beans into chocolate products. pure cocoa powder can be added to baked goods for a chocolate flavor, whisked with hot milk or water for hot chocolate, and used in a variety of other ways, depending on the taste of the cook. Most markets carry cocoa powder, often with several options available.
pure cocoa powder contains several minerals including calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. All of these minerals are found in greater quantities in cocoa powder than either cocoa butter or cocoa liquor. Cocoa solids also contain 230 mg of caffeine and 2057 mg of theobromine per 100g, which are mostly absent from the other components of the cocoa bean.
