Baking Chocolate (Unsweetened)
Baking Chocolate (Unsweetened) is pure, unsweetened chocolate made from ground cacao (cacao liquor) and is commonly used in baking, confections and rich chocolate sauces when an intense cocoa flavor is desired. It is typically used sparingly because of its concentrated flavor and high fat content. Although calorie-dense, Baking Chocolate (Unsweetened) provides a notable amount of fiber at 16.6g per 100g and supplies plant-based protein and minerals such as iron and copper; most of its fat comes from cocoa butter, so it is rich in saturated fat and is an energy-concentrated ingredient. In addition to its macronutrients, unsweetened baking chocolate contains cocoa polyphenols — antioxidant compounds found in cacao — and serves as a concentrated source of cocoa-derived nutrients useful in small amounts in recipes.
