Default what are Cocoa Solids?

Hi,

I've bought something called
Cocoa Fantastico!
"Chocolate Creme Flavor"
"100% Unsweetened Cocoa Powder"

Ingredients:
!00% Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Cocoa Solids

1 TBS (1/2 oz)
calories 50
total fat 1g
sat fat 0
cholesterol 0
sodium 22mg
total carbohydrate 19g
dietary fiber 3g
sugars 0g
protien 3g

vitamin A 0%
vitamin C 0%
calcium 15%
Iron 440% !

Vs plain old commercial Cocoa powder
the things that stand out are
the Iron content (100x) !
calories (3x)
some sodium also in this stuff, vs 0

As far as taste, I haven't come to a conclusion.
It seems very similar to plain Cocoa powder though.
As far as cost -- about 1/3 generic Cocoa powder!

Any comments on this stuff?

thanks
waterboy
