BAKING TIP: All cocoa powders are not created equal. Dutch-process cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans that have been washed with a potassium solution, to neutralize their acidity. Natural cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans that are simply roasted, then pulverized into a fine powder. If a recipe doesnt specify which type to use, the main difference is that Dutch-process cocoa will give a darker color and a more complex flavor, natural cocoa powder tends to be fruitier tasting and lighter in color. Natural cocoa powder hasn’t had its acidity tempered, it’s generally paired with baking soda (which is alkali) in recipes. Dutch-process cocoa is used in recipes with baking powder, as it doesn’t react to baking soda like natural cocoa does. We have a great assortment of cocoa powders, you can find the one that you love!
