Cocoa Powder

Cocoa Powder

Cocoa powder is a fine powder made from cocoa beans. It is typically brown in color and has a rich, chocolate – like aroma. The powder is obtained by grinding the cocoa solids left after the cocoa butter has been extracted from the beans. It comes in different varieties, such as natural cocoa powder and Dutch – processed cocoa powder, with the latter being darker in color and having a milder flavor due to an alkalization process.
