Cocoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cocoa may refer to either the dried and partially fermented fatty seeds of the cacao tree, which are used to make chocolate; or, more usually in the United States, to cocoa powder, the dry powder made by grinding the seeds and removing the cocoa butter. Chocolate and cocoa are made from the beans of the cacao tree, which apparently originated in the foothills of the Andes in the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America. Cocoa powder is made from this "liquor" by removing part of its fatty oils (the "cocoa butter" used in confectionery, soaps, and cosmetics), either with a hydraulic press or by using the Broma process. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cocoa   (925 words)

Cocoa Chocolate and cocoa are made from the beans of the cacao tree, which apparently originated in the highlands of the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America. Cocoa powder is made from this "liquor" by removing part of its fatty oilss -- the "cocoa butter" used in confectionery, soaps, and cosmetics -- either with a hydraulic press or by using the Broma process. For example, a hot cocoa drink, Mexican-style may be done by combining one heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder with two tablespoons of sugar (brown sugar makes a nice variation), and a small pinch of cayenne pepper (just a tiny amount on the tip of a spoon is enough for most people). www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/c/co/cocoa.html   (1039 words)
