Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi guys. I've found pure cocoa quite delicious in several recipes without the need for sugar or butter found in chocolate. 100g of cocoa contains (notably): 229 calories---quite little considering that the flavor is quite potent. 20g of protein---good source of protein 33g of fiber--great source of fiber, no? 8g of saturated fat--potential downside 128mg of calcium---tangible amount It also seems to be filled with other vitamins and minerals (although I don't know much is a lot). I was also under the impression that cocoa was full of special antioxidants. It doesn't quite stack up to most vegetables but it certainly seems like a very healthy food choice. Any thoughts? -Zulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
