Cocoa powder is a slightly bitter-tasting brown powder derived for the cocoa bean. It is low in fat and contains iron, calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and zinc. Cocoa powder is rich in flavanoids which are linked to certain health benefits and these are thought to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, for example. It is used extensively in the production of chocolate and to give a chocolatey flavour to cakes and other food products.
