What is cocoa powder? Distinguishing cocoa powder from chocolate powder
- Cocoa powder is a type of powder made from the seeds of cocoa fruit through a fairly complex process.
- The powder is dark brown, finely ground, and has a characteristic aroma. Cocoa powder and chocolate powder are two different types of powder that you should pay attention to in order to avoid confusion. Chocolate powder can be black, white, or brown depending on the type, and also has different sweet and bitter flavors. In contrast, cocoa powder has a distinct bitterness, a slight sourness, and is fluffier compared to chocolate powder.
- You can find cocoa powder at the TasteVN supermarket system nationwide or purchase online at bachhoaxanh.com.
How to distinguish pure cocoa powder from blended cocoa powder
- Pure cocoa powder has a dark brown color, bright hue. Blended cocoa, on the other hand, often has a reddish-brown, light brown color, dull and not vibrant, mixed with light white particles.
- Pure cocoa powder has a very bitter taste, fragrant with natural cocoa aroma and is often used with sugar or milk. Blended cocoa has a lighter cocoa scent, sweet creamy taste and is fragrant with flavorings like milk, vanilla,…
- When mixed with water, pure cocoa powder dissolves immediately, slightly liquid. In contrast, cocoa powder with additional substances will create a thicker mixture when mixed with water.
