What it is

Cocoa powder is made from roasted cocoa beans, which are then processed to remove most of their fat (cocoa butter). Alkalizing, also known as Dutch processing, involves treating the cocoa with an alkaline solution to reduce bitterness and darken the color. This process can affect the antioxidant content.

Why it's used

Alkalized cocoa powder is used to provide a rich chocolate flavor and dark color in baked goods, ice cream, and beverages. The alkalizing process makes it less bitter and more soluble than natural cocoa powder, making it a popular choice for manufacturers.

Health notes

Cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It contains flavanols, which are antioxidants. Some research suggests flavanols may have heart health benefits, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products. The effects of alkalizing on the antioxidant profile are an area of ongoing research.

Allergen info

Cocoa powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
