Since 86% of global evaporation and 78% of global precipitation occur over the ocean, ocean surface salinity is the key variable for understanding how fresh water input and output affects ocean dynamics.hroughout Earth's history, certain processes have served to make the ocean salty. The weathering of rocks delivers minerals, including salt, into the ocean. Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean.
Dutch process cocoa powder is natural cocoa powder that has been alkalized to remove its acidity and make it neutral. For many, this deepens the flavor of the cocoa powder because sugar (or other ingredients) donât have to overcome the slightly acidic taste of the cocoa before enhancing its flavor.
This variety is a bit more acidic and bitter than Dutch-processed powder. Youâll find it often in recipes that call for baking soda because the soda alkalizes the natural cocoa powder. If youâre in the market for cocoa powder, stick to plain versions. Cocoa powder âmixesâ often contain added sugar or other sweeteners. Cocoa butter is also available for baking or moisturizing, just like cacao butter. You wonât find cocoa nibs.
