The catch is here:
Hagen Schroeter of Mars Inc., the candy company that paid for some of the research
Unfortunately, even the cocoa powder for baking, which has had the fat removed but no sugar or milk products added (like instant cocoa beverages do), still has a huge amount of calories, it's one of the most energetic of foods by weight. Great for lifeboat survival rations and arctic exploring, bad for couch potatoes.
Mexican mole sauce has cocoa in it, and we sometimes use a marinade that uses ground coffee and cocoa and ground chile for pork loin and chicken. Its an unusual dark taste, but very delicious if used wisely.
ping!
