Fresh coffee

Fresh coffee is the roasted and ground bean used to prepare one of the world's most popular beverages: coffee. It is obtained from the fruit of the coffee plant, a shrub native to the tropical regions of Africa, especially Ethiopia, although its cultivation has spread widely throughout Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world with suitable climates.

Fresh coffee stands out for its intense aroma and characteristic flavor, which can vary depending on the bean variety, its origin, and the roasting method. In cooking, fresh coffee is not only used to prepare infusions but also as an ingredient in recipes for desserts, sauces, or marinades that take advantage of its bitter flavor and its ability to enhance other ingredients.

Among its properties, fresh coffee is known for its caffeine content, a natural stimulant that helps improve concentration and increase energy. Additionally, it contains antioxidants that may contribute to cardiovascular health and the reduction of inflammation.

In different Latin American countries, fresh coffee may have common synonyms or ways of being referred to, such as "ground coffee", "freshly ground coffee", or simply "coffee", depending on the context. However, the term "fresh coffee" emphasizes the freshness of the ground bean, an important detail for achieving a better flavor in culinary preparations.
