Description

Decaffeinated instant coffee is a type of soluble coffee that has been processed to remove most of its caffeine content while maintaining its characteristic flavor. It comes in the form of powder or granules that dissolve easily in hot water, making it a quick and practical option for preparing a cup of coffee without the stimulating effects of caffeine.

The origin of decaffeinated instant coffee dates back to the early 20th century, when methods were developed to extract caffeine from roasted or green coffee without losing its aroma or flavor. Today, it is very popular all over the world, especially in homes and offices, due to its ease of use and its adaptability to diets that require low caffeine intake.

In terms of its properties, decaffeinated instant coffee retains antioxidants and beneficial compounds similar to traditional coffee, such as chlorogenic acids, which help combat cellular damage and may improve digestion. Furthermore, as it is almost completely devoid of caffeine, it is ideal for people who are sensitive to this stimulant or for consumption at night.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, this ingredient may have various synonymous names, such as "soluble decaffeinated coffee", "caffeine-free instant coffee", or simply "soluble decaffeinated". In some parts of Latin America, it is also known as "decaffeinated coffee powder".
