Cocoa powder

Cocoa powder is a popular ingredient that comes from the cocoa bean, which is found inside the fruit of the cacao tree. The beans are harvested, dried, fermented, roasted, and then processed to extract the cocoa solids, which are used to make cocoa powder.

To make cocoa powder, the cocoa solids are ground into a fine powder. This process retains the intense chocolate flavour of the cocoa beans but without the fat content found in chocolate. The result is a versatile ingredient that can be used in various recipes.

Cocoa powder is commonly used in baking to add a rich chocolatey flavour to cakes, cookies, and brownies. It is also used to make hot chocolate, chocolate milk, and chocolate-flavoured desserts. Additionally, cocoa powder can be found in some savoury dishes, adding depth and complexity to certain recipes.
