Crushed unroasted cocoa beans are a rich source of polyphenols, theobromine and minerals. These substances can have a number of positive functions in the human body. In addition, cocoa contains the amino acid tryptophan, which the body uses to produce serotonin and can therefore have a positive effect on the psyche and support energy. Cocoa is also a source of iron, which, unlike some plant sources of the mineral, is easily absorbed. Therefore, cocoa is a popular source of iron among vegans.
