Cocoa powder criollo 100% natural 200g Cocoa powder is obtained by drying, pressing and defatting cocoa beans. During pressing, cocoa beans are processed in such a way as to preserve key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and, above all, enzymes, which are destroyed at temperatures above 40 °C. At the same time, cocoa powder treated in this way retains the taste and aroma of cocoa beans. Both cocoa powder and cocoa beans have more antioxidants and flavonoids than, for example, blueberries, red wine, black or green tea. Cocoa powder is rich in minerals including magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and manganese. The product comes from the Mexican state of Tabasco, the type of cocoa is Criollo.
