OVERVIEW:
Cocoa powder is the dry solid remains of fermented, dried, and roasted cacao beans. Dutch process cocoa powder is washed with a potassium carbonate solution that neutralizes cocoa's acidity to a pH of 7. Cocoa Powered Dutch-Processed Black is a more heavily alkalized version of Dutch cocoa powder that creates a dark, black-colored powder. It has the smoothest and most mild flavor of all the cocoa powders. Recipes that use Dutch process cocoa are usually leavened by baking powder, which has a neutral pH.
Natural cocoa is packed with powerful nutrients, antioxidants, and is an excellent source of fiber and iron. It is also one of the highest plant-based sources of magnesium and has more calcium per serving than cow’s milk. Cocoa is a great source of four scientifically proven bliss chemicals (serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylethylamine) associated with feelings of wellbeing.
