What is cocoa powder formed from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There are two main types of cocoa powder. Natural cocoa powder is produced using the process detailed above, and it is naturally very strong, slightly acidic, and very dark. Dutched cocoa powder or dutch cocoa is produced by adding an alkali to the press cake to mellow the flavor and make the color less intense.These beans are harvested in large pods which are split open& fermented then roasted.
