Bitter chocolate v cocoa powder

Considering both are unsweetened, can they be used interchangeably in a stew? I don't bake much (any) sweets, so I really am not familiar with the ingredients.

    Yes, esp. if your cocoa powder is the natural unsweetened kind (as opposed to the Dutch processed).

    But how interchangeable they are depends on your recipe and application.

      Man this redesign is awful. Tis is already kicked back 3 pages. So much for easy.

      Anyway it isn't marked Dutch process, just 100 percent cocoa. Since it is Ina stew, I'm guessing not going to matter much.

      The internet doesn't have an opinion about something?

      this cannot be.
