Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder

Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder

EverydayCaffeine

Dutch-processed cocoa powder is an alkalized cocoa treated with potassium carbonate to neutralize its natural acidity, resulting in a darker color and mellower, less bitter flavor compared to natural cocoa. This process reduces antioxidant flavanol content but enhances solubility in liquids, making it ideal for baked goods and beverages requiring smooth integration. The powder retains cocoa’s magnesium and iron content while remaining naturally vegan and gluten-free.
