Description
High quality fine vegan cocoa powder, perfect for adding that chocolatey loveliness into baking and hot chocolate. Other ideas include adding them into into smooties for a richer, chocolatey taste, sprinkling onto fruit, and added into granola bars.
Cocoa powder is made from cacao beans from the Cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). Cacao beans grow in within cacao pods that a variety of beautiful reds, yellows, greens and blues, which hang from the tree. Each pod contains 20-60 beans surrounded by the tart-sweet sticky cacao flesh, or ‘fruit.’
‘Are cocoa powder and cacao powder the same?‘ we hear you say…
No they are not. Both raw cacao powder and cocoa powder originate from the same beans, however differences are in the taste, nutritional value and texture, all to do with how the cacao bean is processes.
Cacao is lighter in colour, more fruity in flavour, and closer to its natural state than cocoa powder.
Cocoa is darker in colour, and is more processed and refined than cacao, including an extra processing step of roasting at high temperatures, decreasing its nutritional value.
Fancy something new??
We are in love with this totally vegan and the ultimately rich Chocolate guinness cake by Wallflower kitchen! You won’t regret it!
