Cocoa vs. Cacao – What’s the Difference?

By U.S. FDA standards, “cocoa powder” is the legal term for all ground cacao, even when minimally processed. That’s why our packaging says “cocoa”. But this is pure cacao in every way that matters — cold-ground, non-alkalized, unsweetened, and flavor-rich.

Ingredients

100% Cocoa Powder (non-alkalized)

Every lot is independently lab-tested by ISO-17025 accredited labs to ensure compliance with U.S. and international food-safety requirements.

This cacao powder is non-alkalized, meaning it undergoes minimal processing to preserve its natural flavanols and antioxidants. As a result, it will appear lighter in color than Dutch-processed or black cocoa powders. If your recipe requires a very dark or nearly black cocoa, this may not be the best fit. However, this cacao is ideal for those seeking the most natural and rich flavor option.

Is 100% cocoa vegan?

Yes. The Rainforest Red Cocoa Powder is purely cocoa (the ingredient list just says β€œCOCOA”), with no dairy or animal products added. That makes it vegan.

Is this safe for people with dairy allergies or lactose sensitivity?

Since the product is made only from cocoa with no added dairy ingredients, it should be safe for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance. However, if you have a severe allergy, double‐check that there is no cross-contamination in the facil

Is this cocoa or cacao powder?

Technically both. The FDA requires the word β€œcocoa” on labels, but this product is pure cacao powder β€” non-alkalized, unsweetened, and cold-ground.

Has the product changed?

No. Only the packaging terminology has been updated. The cocoa itself is the same high-quality Rainforest Dark Cacao Powder.

Is this suitable for wellness or ceremonial drinks?

Yes. Many customers use it in smoothies, daily health drinks, or cacao-style rituals. Its bold flavor and natural dark color make it versatile.

Is it alkalized or chemically processed?

No. This cocoa is non-alkalized and processed without chemicals β€” keeping its natural character and flavor intact.
