Having prepared a fragrant drink, a person does not even think about what else can be made from cocoa powder. But there are many recipes.
First of all, everyone loves chocolate. It is considered very useful, especially the bitter one. But it happens that you don’t have it at hand, but you really want it. In this case, a box of cocoa powder, which every housewife probably has in her closet, can come to the rescue.
Cocoa: composition and properties
Today it is not difficult to go to the store and choose cocoa powder for every taste. But this plant has come a long way before it hits the shelves. Everyone knows that the fruits of the chocolate tree grow mainly in Africa, Colombia, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic and Brazil. The harvesting of ripened beans in developing countries is primarily done by children. The work is not easy and the pay is meager.
It must be admitted that cocoa does not have a large supply of vitamins. Fat-soluble A and E, as well as B and PP are present here in small quantities. But cocoa, even after careful squeezing, remains high in fat, protein and carbohydrates. Therefore, the energy value of this product is considered high. But on the other hand, no one is going to eat cocoa powder in its pure form.
It is prepared as a drink using liquid or added to other foods. But still, a cocoa drink can lift your spirits, improve your vitality, and give you strength and energy. This is due to the fact that cocoa contains phenylethylamine, which has properties to suppress depression. Among other things, the content of the joy hormone endorphin in cocoa can lift your mood.
But such advantages in a special situation can turn into disadvantages. For example, it is not recommended to consume cocoa for people with unstable mental health and for children under three years of age.
But during the recovery period after an illness or surgery, the use of this product is highly recommended. In addition to nutrients, cocoa has mechanisms that can improve digestion and stimulate appetite. That’s probably why it’s so hard to stop when you’re eating aromatic chocolate. But it should be noted that despite all the advantages of this product, you should not abuse it. Since it can only be absorbed in small quantities. In large dosages, cocoa can negatively affect the proper metabolism in the body, and this is fraught with allergies and weight gain. This applies to a natural product. But the modern industrial industry has learned to produce synthesized additives, which, under the guise of cocoa powder, filled the shelves of our stores. These include all kinds of sweets in the form of chocolates, cocoa-based drinks, and confectionery. To avoid harming your body, learn how to make cocoa desserts yourself.
