Unsweetened Cocoa
Description
Unsweetened cocoa powder is made from dried cocoa bean solids with the cocoa butter removed and no sugar or other ingredients added. It has a naturally bitter, intense chocolate flavor and is a common baking ingredient, though it is not typically eaten on its own and needs a sweetener to be palatable. It's available in two main types: natural, which is more acidic and lighter in color, and Dutch-processed, which is treated to be milder and darker.
