What you need to know about instant coffee

The main ingredient of the invigorating drink is roasted coffee beans. Based on scientific materials, the soluble variety was created in 1899 by the talented Swiss chemist Max Morgenthaler. From that moment on, this type of drink gained great popularity. This popularity is explained by its simple recipe. The drink retains its aroma, taste and invigorating properties. The calorie content of instant coffee is less than that of grain coffee. It is worth noting that caffeine is also found in tea leaves.

There are 3 types of instant drink:

Sublimated. The grains are ground, boiled with water, and then dried by freezing. This is one of the most difficult processes for creating an instant drink, however, thanks to it the drink retains its quality taste and aroma.
Powder. This is the very first version of an instant drink. The grains are ground to a powder, then water is passed through them under vacuum and dried.
Granulated. This is a new type of drink. The grains are turned into powder, after which they are moistened and rolled into granules. This method of creating coffee allows it to dissolve faster in hot water.

Which one to choose is up to you to decide. The calorie content of instant coffee per 100 grams in each of them is approximately the same.

Chemical composition of green coffee

Green coffee contains a rich mineral complex and beneficial vitamin composition. It contains organic acids, mainly chlorogenic acid, tannins, alkaloids, mainly caffeine, theophylline and trigonelline, essential oils, tannin, fiber, lipids and amino acids.

This drink contains much less caffeine than its black counterpart. However, its presence has a positive effect on the body, provided it is consumed within reasonable limits. Thanks to caffeine, you can increase mental performance, increase physical activity, and improve memory. It helps relieve accumulated fatigue and recharge the body with vigor. Also, consuming caffeine in small quantities helps speed up metabolism and prevents the accumulation of fat deposits, relieves spasms and stimulates the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.

Tannin helps remove dangerous toxins and harmful waste from the body, and also prevents harmful environmental effects. It has the ability to constrict blood vessels and reduce capillary permeability, and also helps heal wounds and neutralizes the harmful effects of pathogenic microorganisms and various types of poisoning.

Chlorogenic acid is one of the most powerful antioxidants that helps the body cleanse itself of free radicals and their harmful effects. However, this acid is only found in raw green coffee beans. It prevents the accumulation of subcutaneous fat, reducing the digestibility of carbohydrates, and also normalizes digestion, which undoubtedly promotes weight loss. Chlorogenic acid also has a beneficial effect on the central nervous system, circulatory system and respiratory tract. Thanks to antioxidants, protein synthesis occurs, which is necessary for the stable and harmonious functioning of the body. Chlorogenic acid reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.

The amino acids that make up green coffee promote better absorption of beneficial vitamins and minerals by the body, help fight viruses and infections, speed up metabolic processes and increase hemoglobin production. They also help to gain muscle mass faster and have a beneficial effect on muscles after active physical activity. These beneficial substances can destroy subcutaneous fat and dull the feeling of hunger, and also help remove radionuclides and heavy metal salts from the body.

Lipids are responsible for the synthesis of many hormones that contribute to the proper functioning of the nervous system. And tannins speed up metabolism and reduce blood glucose levels. By the way, thanks to them, coffee acquires its astringency.

Thanks to the fiber contained in this product, harmful cholesterol is removed, digestive processes are normalized, the immune system and the body’s natural defenses are strengthened. Fiber can also prevent the development of cancer and reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems.

Essential oils give coffee its rich, luxurious aroma. With their help, you can soften the cough and increase the secretion of sputum, thereby removing mucus from the bronchi. They are able to quickly eliminate inflammatory processes and neutralize the effects of harmful bacteria. It also has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system and digestive organs.

caloric content about 200 kcal (12% of the daily value);
proteins, fats and carbohydrates (bzhu) – 13.9 g (18%), 14.4 g (24%) and 4.1 g (2%);
