Alkalzied cocoa powder JR03(dark reddish brown)

Alkalized reddish cocoa powder, or Dutch Process, has a higher PH level due to an alkali solution being added to the beans, nibs or powder. This reduces the acidity and darkens the colour, ranging from a deep reddish brown to nearly black. The level of acidity and colour will vary depending on the level of alkalization. This is most commonly used in baking with recipes that call for baking powder.
