Product type
Natural cocoa powder is a fine powder made from roasted cocoa beans, which are processed to remove most of the cocoa butter. This results in a product that is rich in flavor and has a slightly acidic taste, making it a popular choice in baking and confectionery applications. It is typically used in recipes for cakes, cookies, brownies, and other chocolate-flavored treats.
