Dutch-processed cocoa update
I tried Trader Joe’s but they had nothing but drinking chocolate. Then I remembered Staff of Life and decided to try there so we went there this morning. On the bottom shelf of the baking section are cans of cocoa. Those are sweetened or natural cocoa. Looking over to the right one shelf (still on the bottom) in a wicker tray are bags (hand-filled) of cocoa with and without alkali. So there is dutch-processed/alkali cocoa in Santa Cruz. It has no stated brand, it was filled from some bulk source though it was not available in the bulk bins as far as I could tell, and apparently it has an expiration date of July 5, 2008.
