What’s the difference between cocoa and cacao powder?

This can confuse a lot of people, and some people think these two powders are the same thing but believe me, they aren’t! The difference between the two are as follows:

So cacao powder is made from fermented beans that have not been roasted. They are processed at low temperatures and then milled into a powder. This powder is usually bitter in taste and higher in nutritional content. Cocoa powder is made from beans that are both fermented and roasted, the result is less bitter, slightly darker, and has lost some of its nutritional value.
