Not speaking about cocoa but a different bean called cacao bean. Delicious cacao <sounds like cowcow> blend powder in almond milk with pitted dates if you have them.
It is soooooo like cocoa bean, same family- and is good for you! ..I learned this when I ate a 100% raw diet, which I don't do anymore because of the risks of Vit b12 deficiency. But learned a great deal from raw food diet to incorporate with proteins as chicken and fish (GL way of life along with fresh raw foods)

I like carob. When I have carob, though, I don't think of it as a chocolate replacement. I think of it as carob, with it's own unique taste and texture and nuances.
(now I want some!)
But hey, I eat spam, too.
So, YMMV.
