Is chocolate powder and cocoa powder the same?

O chocolate em pó e o cacau em pó são feitos de grãos de cacau e são comuns na vida cotidiana. Eles também são semelhantes em cor e cheiro. Mas eles não são exatamente iguais, existem algumas diferenças entre os dois.

The difference in cocoa butter content

First, they contain different amounts of cocoa butter.

Cocoa powder is only 10 to 35 percent cocoa butter, but chocolate is 100 percent cocoa butter, so chocolate gives a stronger, purer, and more flavorful taste.

Na verdade, a manteiga de cacau é um dos fatores-chave na qualidade do chocolate. A manteiga de cacau natural e pura dá ao chocolate uma sensação de derretimento na boca, enquanto a manteiga de cacau substituta (também conhecida como manteiga de cacau artificial) torna o sabor do chocolate menos delicioso.

Cocoa beans are roasted, peeled, ground, and pressed into a paste, from which most of the butter is pressed, and dried and ground to make a powder, which is cocoa powder. While the chocolate paste, which directly adjusted for temperature and does not remove the cocoa butter, is chocolate.

Different flavors

O chocolate em pó tem um sabor um pouco mais doce e fica ótimo tanto como bebida quanto com leite.
