Cocoa
Chocolate has long been a favorite indulgence. But behind every chocolate bar we unwrap, there is a world of power struggles and political maneuvering over its most important ingredient: cocoa.In this incisive book, Kristy Leissle reveals how cocoa, which brings pleasure and wealth to relatively few, depends upon an extensive global trade system that exploits the labor of five million growers, as well as countless other workers and vulnerable groups.The reality of this dramatic inequity, she explains, is often masked by the social, cultural, emotional, and economic values humans have placed upon cocoa from its earliest cultivation in Mesoamerica to the present day.Tracing the cocoa value chain from farms in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean, through to chocolate factories in Europe and North America, Leissle shows how cocoa has been used as a political tool to wield power over others.Cocoa's politicization is not, however, limitless: it happens within botanical parameters set by the crop itself, and the material reality of its transport, storage, and manufacture into chocolate.As calls for justice in the industry have grown louder, Leissle reveals the possibilities for and constraints upon realizing a truly sustainable and fulfilling livelihood for cocoa growers, and for keeping the world full of chocolate.

This type of cocoa powder is different from drinking cocoa or hot cocoa mix, which often contains sugar and other ingredients. Baking cocoa or unsweetened cocoa powder is used to add a rich chocolate flavor to recipes without adding extra sweetness. It is important to use the correct type of cocoa powder as specified in the recipe to achieve the desired results.

The amount of baking cocoa needed for a recipe will depend on the specific recipe and the desired level of chocolate flavor.

It's important to follow the recipe instructions closely to ensure the right balance of flavors in the final dish.

Is baking cocoa the same as raw cocoa?
No, baking cocoa is not the same as raw cocoa. Baking cocoa is processed and typically has added ingredients like sugar and sometimes milk solids. Raw cocoa, on the other hand, is the pure form of cocoa beans that have been minimally processed and not sweetened. Raw cocoa is often used in health food products and has a more intense, bitter flavor compared to baking cocoa.

Instead of chocolate, cocoa?
Cocoa refers to the powdered form of the cocoa bean, which is used to make chocolate. While chocolate is made by combining cocoa with other ingredients like sugar and milk, cocoa can be used on its own as a beverage or as an ingredient in baking. Using cocoa instead of chocolate allows for more control over the sweetness and flavor profile of the final product, making it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.

How do you make hot chocolate with baking cocoa powder?
To make hot chocolate with baking cocoa powder, start by heating milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. In a separate bowl, mix together baking cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Slowly whisk the cocoa mixture into the warm milk until it is well combined and smooth.

Can I use cocoa instead of cocoa powder for baking?
Yes, you can use cocoa instead of cocoa powder for baking. Cocoa is the solid form of cocoa powder, so it can be used as a substitute in recipes. However, keep in mind that cocoa may have a higher fat content than cocoa powder, so you may need to adjust the amount of other ingredients in your recipe to compensate for this difference. Additionally, cocoa may have a slightly different flavor profile compared to cocoa powder, so the end result may vary slightly.
