NOW Foods Cocoa Powder Organic (340 g) contains pure organic cocoa powder that has not been alkalised, which means it retains its natural colour and character. It can be easily used to make a cup of hot chocolate, in desserts or for baking cakes and brownies, for example. A serving is a teaspoon of 2.5 g, so you can easily measure out how much you need. With approximately 136 servings per jar, you'll have a staple in your kitchen cupboard for a long time.
Cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted and ground into cocoa mass. Most of the cocoa butter is then pressed out and what remains is finely ground into powder.
Cocoa comes from the cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao), which originally grows in the rainforests of Central and South America. Nowadays, most of the world's cocoa comes from West Africa, especially Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Alkalised cocoa powder is cocoa that has been treated with an alkaline solution, making the powder darker in colour and milder in taste. Non-alkalised cocoa powder has not undergone this process and therefore has a lighter, natural brown colour and a slightly fresher, more pronounced cocoa flavour.
Drinking chocolate powder is usually a blend of cocoa with other ingredients such as sugar and flavourings. This product contains only organic cocoa powder, so you can decide for yourself what to add.
Polyphenols are natural plant compounds found in cocoa, tea, coffee, fruit and vegetables, among others. Cocoa powder naturally contains polyphenols.
Yes, the powder is suitable for cakes, brownies, biscuits and other desserts. Non-alkalised cocoa powder is naturally slightly acidic. That is why it is often used in recipes with baking soda, which reacts with the acid and makes the dough rise.
Put 1 cup of milk or a plant-based drink, such as coconut or oat milk, in a pan with 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons of sugar or another sweetener. Heat over medium heat until gently boiling and whisk until the cocoa is dissolved. Whisk in a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract, remove the pan from the heat and let the hot chocolate cool slightly in your mug.
