Unsweetened dark cocoa

Description

Unsweetened dark cocoa is a fine, intensely brown to almost black powder with a strong, slightly bitter and tangy flavor, featuring nutty and earthy notes; its aroma is deep and cocoa-like, without sweetness. It works perfectly in baked goods, dark sauces, hot chocolate made with plant-based milk, desserts, and as an addition to smoothies and savory dishes, enhancing the flavor of meat or chili. Nutritionally, cocoa is rich in polyphenols (flavonoids), magnesium, iron, and fiber, with relatively low sugar content, which may support heart health, circulation, and well-being when consumed in moderation. It also contains theobromine and small amounts of caffeine, so it is advisable to consume it in moderation. It should be stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from strong odors; avoid moisture, which causes clumping.
