Cacao Powder and Butter
Posted by: Simple Living ()

Is it odd for a local co-op and a Whole Foods to NOT carry Cacao Powder or Cacao Butter? Or was I mistaken that I would easily find these items there? They kept trying to give me cocoa powder! They did have one version of cacao butter but it had coconut oil in it.

I have a friend coming over for a raw meal and she loves chocolate pudding. I was hoping to make it for her, but...

Just so you know, cacao and cocoa are just two spellings of the same word. (Although of course usually the raw version is called cacao and the cooked version cocoa, this does not have to be the case).

(I'm in the UK so I can't answer your question, here there are very few shops which carry those products, mostly you have to buy online.)

I have only found raw cacao nibs in stores, the powder I have always ordered online.

Got it. Thanks for the replies. I knew the cocoa powder was cooked, which is why I didn't buy that instead.

How about the cacao butter? Is that safe to order online? Is it refrigerated?

ETA: Is the cacao butter PURE cacao or is there coconut in it?
