Cocoa powder isn't cocoa solids though.


So what *is* it? Educate me please!


"Cocoa powder" as bought in the shops to make chocolate drinks is a
mixture of dried milk, sugar and a bit of cocoa. The proportions vary
depending on method of making the drink or intended use. Cocoa powder
intended for cooking (cakes, etc) won't have as much dried milk as one
intended for a drink.

Cocoa solids have cocoa fats in them
