Rowntree's Cocoa Powder For Baking - Instant Hot Chocolate Drink, 250 g (Pack of 6)

Product Information

For low-carb cocoa powders, there is a lot to take into account. Although many brands don’t have any added sugar, cocoa powder naturally contains small sugar quantities.

Because of the chemical process involved in obtaining it, Dutch-processed cocoa behaves differently while cooked. As it has a neutral pH, when combined with baking soda, it will stop the batter from rising, keeping it moist and fudgy. When cooking with natural cocoa its acidic quality allows the batter to rise, resulting in airier, but drier baked goods. Nowadays, the largest cocoa producer is the Ivory Coast, followed by Ghana, and Indonesia. Obtaining cocoa powder is a long and complex process, as it requires several stages: harvesting the pods, fermenting the pulp (also known as “sweating”), fermenting and drying the beans, then roasting them.These classic sweets are a great choice for treat time. And with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, you can feel happy to enjoy these as a fun treat.

One of the few companies with a very strict cocoa bean selection process for making cocoa powder and chocolate, Ghirardelli controls every aspect of their chocolate manufacturing process, by processing the cocoa beans, and producing chocolate and cacao solids, like cocoa powder.The powder is rich in flavonol antioxidants, substances that turn it into a superfood, but are partially lost when the cocoa powder is processed.
