Amer cocoa is a type of cocoa powder that is obtained from unwelling cocoa seeds. It is generally darker and richer in cocoa than cocoa in sweet powder, and has a more intense and more bitter taste. Amer cocoa is often used in the making of dark chocolate, cakes and hot drinks, and can also be added to savory dishes, such as sauces and marinades, to add flavor and color. Amer cocoa is a source of flavonoids, which are antioxidants that can help protect the body from free radicals and maintain cell health. It is also rich in iron and magnesium, and is a source of dietary fiber.
