Did you know chocolate originally comes from a fruit? Each fruit pod of the cocoa tree contains multiple seeds, also known as cocoa beans. These beans are finely ground into Cocoa Powder. Anthony’s Organic Black Cocoa Powder has a dark, almost black color with a fat content of 10-12%. This percentage refers to the amount of cocoa butter left in the powder during processing. Compared to our regular cocoa powder, our Black Cocoa is dutch processed (alkalized), resulting in a smooth and less acidic finish. Due to its low acidity, Dutched Cocoa is usually used along with baking powder, while natural cocoa calls for baking soda in recipes. Our Organic Black Cocoa Powder is delicious in baking, chocolate-making, no-bake recipes, and even in spice rubs for meat! You can make homemade, chocolate-scented soaps & scrubs! Anthony’s Black Cocoa Powder is Organic, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Unsweetened, and Alkalized with No Added Coloring.
