Ingredient Selection Tips
Cacao powder
Did you know that there is a difference between Cacao powder and Cocoa powder? They are very similar except for the way they are processed. While cacao is processed at low temperature and then milled into a powder, cocoa is made from roasted cacao beans processed at high temperature and then milled into a powder. If you can, prefer high-quality cacao powder, as it contains and preserves more beneficial nutrients.
