### Cocoa: Known and Unknown

The cocoa tree (//Theobroma cacao//) is a tree originating from the tropical parts of South America. People probably cultivated it as early as the 5th century. Today, it is widespread throughout the tropical belt, extensively cultivated in Africa (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, and others). Its name means "food of the gods". The fruits are pods about 30 cm long, which contain seeds called cocoa beans inside. And it is from these that cocoa, a globally popular ingredient, is made.

How is cocoa made?

Cocoa beans (nibs) are fermented, dried, roasted, husked, and ground into cocoa paste. This is used to make chocolate, or it is further pressed under high pressure to separate the cocoa butter, which is used in the food, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical industries. The remaining cocoa mass, stripped of its fat component, is then crushed and ground into cocoa powder.

What is the difference between alkalised and non-alkalised cocoa?

Alkalisation, also known as the Dutch process, is a method in which cocoa beans or powder are treated with an alkaline solution to reduce pH. This process softens the flavour, darkens the colour, and improves the solubility of cocoa. However, it can lead to a reduction in the content of some beneficial substances, such as antioxidants. Non-alkalised cocoa, on the other hand, retains its original distinct flavour, has a lighter colour, and a slightly higher nutrient content.

 
### Method of Use

Cocoa powder can be used in baking cakes, biscuits, bundt cakes, muffins, and other desserts. It is suitable for smoothies, porridges, or muesli. It can also be used to prepare drinks or homemade chocolates. Just add to water, milk, or dough and mix thoroughly, or sprinkle on top of the dish.
