Raw cocoa during pregnancy
Pleasure in moderation, knowledge in the heart
As new life grows inside you, your view of many things changes - including your diet. Women keep asking us: "Is raw cocoa allowed during pregnancy?" The answer is: Yes, you can enjoy it - as long as you keep a few things in mind.
Ingredients of raw cocoa
Raw cocoa is rich in magnesium, iron, potassium and zinc, contains many antioxidants and the amino acid tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin - our happiness hormone. This has a mood-lifting and nourishing effect. But cocoa also contains:
- Theobromineapprox. 120-140 mg per cup (15 g powder) - gently stimulating and vasodilating.
- Caffeineapprox. 15-25 mg per cup - significantly less than coffee, but relevant as it also reaches your baby via the placenta.
- Histaminecan cause headaches or nausea in sensitive women.
- Oxalic acidIn high quantities, it inhibits calcium absorption, which is important for bones.
Risks and limits during pregnancy
Placenta & caffeineCaffeine goes straight to the baby, which only breaks it down slowly. The recommendation is not to consume more than 200 mg of caffeine per day - this corresponds to about 8-10 cups of cocoa, but only 2 cups of coffee, for example.
Excessive doses: Ceremonial quantities of 30-50 g of raw cocoa can contain up to 100 mg of caffeine and over 400 mg of theobromine - that is too much during pregnancy.
Histamine & oxalic acid: Hardly a problem with normal consumption, but cocoa can trigger intolerances in sensitive women.
