Cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is the fat extracted from cocoa beans. The figures here describe cocoa butter itself, rather than chocolate or cocoa powder. It mainly provides fat and energy: per 100g, it contains 3682 kJ of energy and 100g of fat, of which 59g is saturated fat. It also provides 1.1mg of vitamin E.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin E helps protect cells from damage. Cocoa butter’s high saturated fat content and concentrated energy are relevant for people monitoring these aspects of their diet. Foods made with cocoa butter may also contain added sugar or other ingredients, so their nutritional composition will differ. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
