About Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened, processed with alkali
Dutch-process cocoa has been treated with an alkalizing agent to neutralize natural acidity, which darkens the color, mellows the flavor, and slightly reduces the fiber content compared to natural cocoa. Fat and protein remain solid, and the carbohydrate structure is similar to natural cocoa. The smoother, less harsh flavor makes it preferable for certain baking applications - hot chocolate, frosting - though it behaves differently than natural cocoa in recipes that rely on acid for leavening.
