Cocoa solids are the non-fat components of cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. They are produced by grinding cocoa nibs, the crushed pieces of cocoa beans, after the cocoa butter has been extracted. Cocoa solids contain a rich concentration of flavor compounds, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making them a key ingredient in various chocolate products. In addition to chocolate, cocoa solids are often used in baking and cooking to add a deep chocolate flavor. They can be found in products like cocoa powder and dark chocolate, contributing to the taste and texture of desserts and confections.
