Cocoa powder for coating

Description

Cocoa powder for coating is a finely ground, matte powder with a deep, dark brown color and an intense, slightly bitter taste with chocolate notes and a subtle, earthy sweetness. It contains no sugar, which makes it contrast very well with sweet fillings and gives an elegant, raw finish to truffles, pralines, donuts, or cakes, and it also works well as a sprinkle for desserts, drinks, and baked goods. Nutritionally, cocoa is a source of antioxidants (flavonoids), magnesium, iron, and fiber, which, when consumed in moderation, can support cardiovascular functions and mood; it also contains theobromine and small amounts of caffeine. It should be stored in an airtight container, in a dry, cool, and dark place, away from strong odors; avoiding moisture will keep it fresh for several months to a year.
