Cocoa Properties

Cocoa has beneficial properties for the body and offers it everything that chocolate does, but without burdening it with sugar.
The benefits of cocoa for the human body have been proven by many old and new studies, which have even concluded that cocoa contains more antioxidants than red wine , but also than some fruits known for their antioxidant properties, such as pomegranates and blueberries. Cocoa is high in flavonoids and procyanidins , which block the action of free radicals, which are responsible for aging and cause serious health problems, such as cancer and heart disease.

Cocoa still contains carbohydrates and about the same levels of protein as meat.
