The Premium Quality Organic Cocoa Powder from Sri Lanka. Cocoa powder is an unsweetened powder produced by grinding the seeds of the fruit of a tropical evergreen tree called the cacao, or cocoa tree. These seeds, or beans, are first fermented, then dried and roasted. After roasting, the beans have their hulls removed and are then processed to extract their fat, which is known as cocoa butter. The leftover solids are further ground into what eventually is sold as cocoa powder. However, Cocoa powder can be made prior to extracting the Butter as well. This results in a more richer Cocoa with 52-54% fat.
