  1. Healthy Butter Substitutes
  2. Cocoa butter as butter substitute

C​ocoa butter is made from cocoa beans. Actually, one of the most delicious desserts in the world – chocolate is produced with the help of it.

Debra Rose Wilson reports on healthline.com:

The butter is a healthy and stable oil consisting of 57-64% saturated fat. That makes it an acceptable cooking oil. Naturally, it is solid at room temperature and must be melted for usage.

Healthy Butter Substitutes

Easy cookie recipes

This amazing butter has a fantastic smell so it is widely used in cooking as a healthy butter substitute. But the sphere of its usage does not end in the kitchen. It is used in cosmetology, perfumery, traditional and alternative medicine.

6 benefits for health
  • It is a balanced natural product that has a healing effect on the whole body.
  • The butter stimulates the immune system.
  • It helps with allergic diseases (dermatitis, asthma). It contains polyphenols, which significantly reduce the release of IgE immunoglobulin, thereby eliminating the allergic reaction.
  • The butter reduces the possibility of blood clots and blockage of blood vessels. It restores the lost functions of the blood vessels walls, increases their elasticity.
  • It reduces the amount of cholesterol and completely cleans the blood. Also, it normalizes the barrier functions of the skin epidermis. All this is due to the high concentration of oleic acid in this butter.
  • The butter is used for digestive disorders. Taking 1 tsp of cocoa butter at bedtime eliminates problems with the stool.

Cocoa butter as butter substitute

In fact, the demand for the product is growing. No wonder, because it is impossible to imagine chocolate, all sorts of sweets, bars, cakes without it. This kind of butter makes hot chocolate tender and nourishing, it is added to some coffees and desserts as well.

How can we substitute the usual butter by the cocoa one?

  • Confectionery. It is impossible to imagine chocolate and various sweets, loved by adults and children. Give preference to dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa content.
  • Bakery products. Various cakes, pastries, puddings, and many other desserts taste better with cocoa butter.
  • The butter is added to coffee and sauces to give the specific aroma.
  • Milk porridge and puddings. With butter substitute, they will be healthier and taste better.
  • Cocoa butter-based creams and icing for baking. You can make amazing decorations for your cakes without harm to your health.

The chemical composition of Cocoa butter

Considering the content of nutrients in the butter, we can note a relatively small number of vitamins. The usual for oils vitamins D, A, and E are found only in trace amounts. Of course, these vitamins do not have a particularly beneficial effect in such small quantities.

The basis of cocoa butter is fatty acids – stearic, oleic, and also palmitic and linoleic.

Oleic is found in the largest amount – almost a half. Already, these properties allow the butter to be considered one of the most useful products.

But besides fatty acids, a large amount of tannins and caffeine is included in this butter. These beneficial substances have a very positive effect on the skin when applying oil in cosmetology.
