Frequently Asked Questions About Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder
How do you make a drink with Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder?
Whisk Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder with a small splash of warm milk or water until smooth, then add the rest of the liquid. Since the powder is unsweetened, add a sweetener if you want a sweeter drink.
Is Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder sweetened?
No, Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder is unsweetened. It gives drinks and recipes a strong cocoa flavor without the sugar found in many instant hot chocolate mixes, so sweeten it separately if needed.
Can you bake with Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder?
Yes, Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder works in recipes for cakes, brownies, cookies, and puddings that call for cocoa powder. It is unsweetened, so keep the recipe’s sugar in place; a recipe specifying a particular cocoa type may give a different result.
What is the difference between Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder and hot chocolate mix?
Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder is unsweetened cocoa powder, while hot chocolate mixes commonly include sugar and other ingredients. Cocoa powder therefore needs separate sweetening and may need more whisking to make a smooth drink.
Can Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder replace melted chocolate in a recipe?
No, Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder is not a one-for-one substitute for melted chocolate. Cocoa powder does not provide chocolate’s cocoa butter or sugar, so replacing it may require changes to the recipe’s fat, liquid, and sweetener.
Why does Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder taste bitter?
Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder tastes bitter because it is unsweetened and has a concentrated cocoa flavor. In a drink or dessert, balance it with the recipe’s sweetener, or pair it with milk, yogurt, or naturally sweet fruit.
How should you store Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder after opening?
Keep Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Moisture can make the powder clump and weaken its aroma, so use a dry spoon and close the package promptly after serving.
Does Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder dissolve in cold milk?
Not easily; Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder can clump in cold milk. First mix it into a smooth paste with a little warm liquid, or shake it thoroughly with the milk in a covered bottle.
Does Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder contain caffeine?
Yes, cocoa naturally contains some caffeine as well as theobromine. Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder is not caffeine-free, so people sensitive to stimulants may prefer to avoid having it late in the day if it affects their sleep.
Can you eat Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder without mixing it into food?
It is better to mix Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder into food or liquid rather than swallow a dry spoonful, which can be unpleasant and easy to inhale. Stir it into yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, or a drink instead.

What is Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder?
Naturiga Organic Cocoa Powder is unsweetened organic cocoa made by grinding cacao beans. It has a deep chocolate aroma and a naturally bitter, robust taste rather than the sweetness of drinking chocolate. Around the world, it is stirred into milk for a hot drink or used in baking; it also works well in porridge, smoothies and yoghurt. Its unsweetened character lets you decide how much sweetness to add, whether you are making a simple cocoa drink or a dessert.
Cocoa powder is notably rich in fibre and magnesium, with 37 g of fibre per 100 g. A small amount can bring plenty of cocoa flavour to a recipe, and pairing it with milk, banana or yoghurt can soften its bitterness.
