What is cocoa powder?
- Cocoa powder is a fine powder made from the seeds of the cacao fruit, with a dark brown color and a strong but not harsh aroma, and a slightly bitter taste.
- Fresh cacao fruits are fermented for 2 – 9 days after harvest, then dried and roasted to enhance flavor and aroma. After roasting, the cacao seeds are finely ground into cocoa powder.
- Pure cocoa powder is mixed with butter, sugar, milk, and some other ingredients to produce chocolate. Additionally, cocoa powder is also used to add flavor and delicious color to various candies, milks, etc.
How to distinguish between pure cocoa powder and blended cocoa powder
- About color: pure cocoa typically has a uniform color, ranging from light brown to reddish brown. Blended cocoa, on the other hand, has an uneven color, tending towards light brown, slightly pale, with small white specks.
- About taste: pure cocoa will have a bitter, slightly fatty, and lightly sour taste, while blended cocoa has a sweet taste due to the addition of various other powders.
- About aroma: pure cocoa has a natural aroma, slightly strong but not harsh. Blended cocoa has added scents of milk, vanilla, chocolate, etc., due to being mixed.
