Cocoa powder is a powdered food ingredient made from cocoa beans through processes like roasting, husking, and grinding. It's typically all-natural, without added sugars or other additives. Depending on the processing methods, cocoa powder can be categorized into different types: natural cocoa powder (non-alkalized cocoa powder) and alkalized cocoa powder (alkalized cocoa powder).
Different types of cocoa powder can vary in taste, color, and application. Natural cocoa powder, which isn't alkalized, retains more of its natural flavors and acidity, with a darker reddish-brown color. Alkalized cocoa powder is milder in flavor, smoother in taste, and tends to have a deeper brown color.
