Cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans after some of the cocoa butter has been removed. The figures here describe the dry powder, rather than a prepared drink. It provides fat, protein and carbohydrate, as well as minerals including magnesium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 22g of fat, including 13g of saturated fat, 19g of protein and 520mg of magnesium.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. The powder contains only trace amounts of sugars, but adding sugar or other ingredients changes the nutritional content of a drink or recipe. Full figures are in the tables below.
