It also has healthy flavor compounds that many people enjoy as part of balanced meals. However, this cocoa powder is also relatively high in fat (21.1 g) and saturated fat (12.4 g), and it contains sugar (28.5 g) and sodium (95 mg) per 100 g. Because it\u2019s concentrated, the health impact depends a lot on how much you use and what you mix it with (like milk, sugar, or cream).","healthier_tips":["Use small portions: cocoa is strong\u2014start with 1\u20132 teaspoons per serving, then adjust to taste.","If making a drink, choose unsweetened cocoa and keep added sugar low; use low-fat milk or unsweetened soy milk.","For baking, balance cocoa with more fiber add-ins like oats or whole grains, and reduce added sugar where possible.","Since it has more saturated fat, avoid pairing it with very fatty add-ons (like lots of cream or butter). Aim for a balanced day: 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks, and treat cocoa-based desserts as an occasional snack, not a daily large serving."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/cocoa-pwdr-imported?agent=true"}}}
