Instant coffee

Instant coffee is a quick and convenient way to enjoy the flavor and aroma of coffee without the need to prepare the beverage from ground beans or traditional roasted coffee. It is made from natural coffee that has been brewed, dehydrated, and processed into soluble powder or granules that dissolve easily in hot water.

Its origin dates back to the early 20th century, when methods were being sought to efficiently preserve and transport coffee. Today, instant coffee is very popular all over the world for its convenience and speed in preparing a cup of coffee in minutes.

Among its main properties, its high caffeine content, which provides a stimulating effect, stands out, in addition to containing natural antioxidants that help combat cellular damage. However, the production process can slightly reduce some beneficial compounds present in freshly ground coffee.

In different regions of Latin America, instant coffee may also be called soluble coffee or powdered coffee. Although these terms may vary, they all refer to the same type of dehydrated coffee that dissolves quickly to prepare beverages.

This ingredient is ideal for recipes that require liquid coffee quickly, such as desserts, smoothies, ice creams, or coffee-infused sauces, in addition to the classic hot beverage.
