'''Cocoa''', or ''cocoa powder'' is a naturally occurring product from the cocoa beans of the cacao tree ''[[Theobroma cacao (botany)|Theobroma cacao]]'', known for being a main ingredient in chocolate. It is found usually in the form of cocoa beans, which are taken from the cocoa plant, or cocoa powder. Cocoa beans and bean powder contain psychoactive compounds that when ingested or insufflated act as mild to moderate stimulants. Businesses as well as companies and their subsidiaries sell cocoa powder for baking because cocoa powder is used to add chocolate flavor to baked items or doughs.
