Description
Cocoa powder is the basis of the drink of the same name, which we have loved since childhood. What is cocoa powder made from? Essentially, it is the ground cake left over after squeezing the oil out of cocoa beans. The composition of cocoa powder is very rich. Its main ingredients are caffeine, which has a tonic effect, and theobromine, which improves blood circulation. Cocoa powder also contains fats, proteins, carbohydrates, tannins, organic and mineral substances. The calorie content of the product is high, about 290 kcal per 100 g. Therefore, drinks based on it cannot be called dietary. However, some manufacturers offer low-fat cocoa powder as an alternative.
The health benefits and harms of cocoa are a topic of frequent debate. It is well known that it stimulates brain function, relieves stress and improves mood. Cocoa powder also has medicinal properties. With regular use, it prevents the development of sclerosis, dementia and diabetes. Hypertensive patients know well the benefits of cocoa powder. Thanks to the abundance of polyphenols, it normalizes blood pressure. However, it is better for people with increased nervous excitability and gout, as well as pregnant women, to abstain from it. The special characteristics of cocoa powder have earned it fame in cosmetology. Chocolate masks and wraps are very popular today.
How to choose cocoa powder? A high-quality product has a rich brown color, a homogeneous mass without grains and a fat content of about 15%. A glass or metal container with a tight lid is best for storing cocoa powder. This way, the valuable properties of cocoa powder will last longer, and the drink will be tasty and rich. How to cook cocoa powder? It is usually prepared with water or milk with the addition of sugar and cream. It is important to stir it continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
What can you make from cocoa powder, besides chocolate drinks? Any confectionery products, not only dough, but also cream fillings. Sometimes meat is baked in a cocoa coating, but this dish is not for everyone.
