Reduced fat cocoa powder

Reduced fat cocoa powder is a food ingredient that comes from cocoa beans, which are the seeds of the cocoa tree. These beans are processed to remove much of the natural fat content, resulting in a powder that is commonly used in baking and making chocolate-flavoured treats.

To make reduced fat cocoa powder, cocoa beans are roasted, ground, and pressed to extract cocoa butter, which is the fat component. The remaining solids are then finely ground into a powder. This process helps reduce the fat content while retaining the cocoa flavour, making it a versatile ingredient for various recipes.

You can find reduced fat cocoa powder listed on food labels of products like low-fat chocolate cakes, brownies, hot chocolate mixes, and chocolate-flavoured cereals. It is often used to add a rich chocolate taste to foods without the added fat content, making it a popular choice for those looking to create delicious treats with a lower fat content.
