    Quality chocolate made with a good amount of cocoa powder is rich in iron and minerals. You can find 14 mg of iron in 100 g of cocoa powder. The body can absorb up to 93% of the iron found in cocoa powder. Cocoa powder also is a good source of these other minerals the body needs for good functioning: Chromium, potassium, zinc, phosphorous, copper, and manganese.
