What it is
Organic Dutch process cocoa powder is made from roasted cocoa beans that have been treated with an alkali solution. This process reduces the bitterness and darkens the color of the cocoa. It is commonly used to create chocolate flavor in foods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Dutch process cocoa powder primarily for its rich, mellow chocolate flavor and deep color. It is a key ingredient in baked goods like cakes and cookies, as well as in beverages, ice cream, and confectionery.
Health notes
Organic Dutch process cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Cocoa contains flavanols, which are antioxidants that may have some health benefits, though research is ongoing. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cocoa and cocoa products. Evidence on the specific health effects of Dutch process cocoa at typical consumption levels is limited.
Allergen info
Cocoa powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
