What it is
Cocoa powder that has had its acidity reduced by treating cocoa beans or cocoa powder with an alkaline salt, such as potassium carbonate. This process, also called "Dutching," results in a darker color and milder flavor compared to natural cocoa powder.
Why it's used
Alkalizing cocoa powder changes its color to a deeper brown and reduces its bitterness, making it ideal for baked goods like cookies, cakes, and brownies, as well as for use in chocolate confections and beverages. It also helps cocoa powder dissolve more easily in liquids.
Health notes
Cocoa powder processed with alkali is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The alkalization process may slightly reduce the levels of certain flavanols, which are antioxidants found in cocoa. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, and EFSA has also assessed cocoa powder. Evidence on the health effects of processed cocoa is still being researched.
Allergen info
Cocoa powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
