Tips to distinguish real cocoa powder very standard

Cocoa powder - A nutritious and healthy drink from children to the elderly and it is because of this that many units have profited by mixing poor quality (fake) cocoa powder products into the market. Buying and selling cocoa powder makes consumers confused as to where is the real quality cocoa powder - genuine? Understanding that common mentality, Cacao Trong Duc will share with you a few tips to distinguish really good cocoa powder in the article below.

1. Color

Due to the manufacturing process, the color of cocoa powder will change depending on the degree of alkalization more or less. The common colors of cocoa powder are light brown, light reddish brown or dark reddish brown,

However, pure cocoa powder will still retain its inherent deep color. They are evenly colored and quite fresh. As for the "fake" cocoa powder, it is usually reddish brown, light brown, pale and not fresh, with light white spots due to the powder filling.

So, when buying cocoa, pay closer attention to the color to make sure you buy the right “standard”!

2. Fragrance

Pure cocoa powder usually has a very pleasant natural aroma. The reason is that pure cocoa powder does not add any other additives or flavorings. So, when drinking, you will not smell chocolate, vanilla or the sweet smell of sugar and milk. Mixed cocoa powder often has other scents such as chocolate, vanilla, milk, etc., due to the use of additional flavorings and other additives.

3. Taste

According to culinary experts, cocoa beans contain many acids that create a sour taste. After being alkalized, the cocoa flavor becomes easier to drink and less bitter. However, depending on the degree of alkalization, the sour and bitter taste in each type of cocoa powder will be different.

Immediately after drinking, pure cocoa powder will have a bitter taste, then a mild fatty chia flavor. Mixed cocoa powder has the aroma and sweetness of milk, but the cocoa smell is very light because the content of pure cocoa powder is not much.
