What is this food?
AI-assisted
Cocoa powder (local cocoa), used for chocolate drinks and baking. It’s a flavorful ingredient that can add fiber and natural plant compounds, but it also contains fat and sugar depending on the product and how it’s prepared.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Per 100g, cocoa powder has dietary fiber (9.6g) which helps you feel full and supports healthy digestion. It also has carbohydrates (49.9g) and sugars (28.7g), plus fat (19.8g) with saturated fat (11.7g). These mean cocoa can fit well in a balanced diet, but the key is portion and preparation—especially if you mix it with sugar, milk, or cream. Sodium is relatively low here (96mg), so it’s usually not the main concern.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • For daily meals/snacks, treat cocoa as a flavor add-on: use a small serving (e.g., 1–2 teaspoons) instead of large scoops.
  • If making hot chocolate, choose less added sugar, and consider using unsweetened milk or low-fat milk.
  • Pair it with a balanced snack: e.g., cocoa drink with nuts or plain yogurt to help with satiety.
  • Because it has more saturated fat and sugar per 100g, keep it occasional if you’re also eating other sweets the same day.
  • Use it in baking with controlled sweeteners (or reduce sugar in the recipe) and add fruit or oats for extra fiber.
