Natural Cocoa Powder
Pressed and milled with nothing added. It keeps the acidity of the bean — which is why it keeps the red, and why it behaves differently in a dough.

Choosing within the range
What actually decides it.
- It is acidic, and that is the pointpH 5.7 ± 0.3. In a baked recipe it reacts with baking soda. Swapping to an alkalized grade without moving the leavening is the most common reformulation error in this category.
- The red survivesNatural cocoa keeps the red-brown of the bean. Alkalizing it would take that away; that is the trade you make when you choose between the two ranges.
- DispersibilityNatural cocoa wets less readily than alkalized. In cold-liquid systems this is the first thing to test, not the flavour.
- Fat contentSame standard as the alkalized range. The choice between the two ranges is about acidity and colour, not about fat.
