Organic Alkalized Cacao
Organic alkalized cocoa powder x 200 g
Natural cocoa has a light, reddish color and a naturally tart taste due to the acids contained in cocoa. Its natural acidity is between 5 and 6.
In 1828, Dutch chemist and chocolatier Conrad Johannes Van Houten discovered that treating cocoa with an alkaline solution (potassium carbonate, K 2 CO 3 ) made it more soluble, darker, and mellowed its flavor.
The acidity of cocoa processed in this way is 7 (neutral). In this way, alkalized cocoa has a milder taste. Gradually, cocoa lovers began to prefer this option because it made it easier to prepare drinks and sweets.
Alkalized cocoa contains many flavonoids, which are beneficial for heart function, strengthening blood vessels, better brain function, and memory clarity. The product also contains important vitamins, proteins, and minerals that naturally boost immunity.
Taking the product also helps maintain bone strength through the magnesium, zinc, and iron it contains.
