Cocoa is a cheap ingredient used in baking which is processed at a high temperature and often contains added sugar and dairy 🍰
Cacao is processed at a low temperature which has a more bitter taste and higher nutritional value. Although being more expensive, it is high in flavanols which have antioxidant, heart-protective and anti-cancer properties. It can lower blood pressure, reduce diabetes risk, reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function 🧠
It’s also a good source of iron, fibre, potassium and magnesium 🍫
