I love cocoa powder.
The “virtuous” half of chocolate, cocoa is the low-fat component: the part of chocolate rich in antioxidants, caffeine and theobromine. These exist in only very small quantities in chocolate’s other half – cocoa butter – which has its own glorious qualities, giving chocolate its richness, smoothness, creaminess, meltiness. Like a perfect partnership, the chocolate whole is greater than the sum of its parts … but the parts are pretty amazing.
