How is instant coffee made? After you finish reading this, you may not want to drink it anymore. How is instant coffee made? Instant coffee was invented as early as the early 1990s, but modern instant coffee technology matured in the 1940s in order to find a home for stranded coffee beans. The high-temperature drying method evaporates the water in the coffee beans, leaving only the dry extract, and this substance can be quickly dissolved in hot water and is easy to store, so it is popular with the public.

The coffee beans used to produce instant coffee are of relatively low quality, and most of them are deformed and broken coffee beans that have been eliminated after screening. Although there are many boutique instant coffees on the market, its ingredients are still not separated from low-quality coffee beans. In addition, the degree of roasting of coffee beans for instant coffee is still at a relatively primitive stage, far from meeting the standards, so the aroma of coffee beans cannot be fully released. Therefore, many manufacturers will add a large amount of flavors to make up for the aroma lost during the extraction process. The aroma in the coffee beans is lost and the nutrients are destroyed to a large extent, so instant coffee cannot be regarded as real coffee, but a coffee-flavored beverage blended with flavors.

The ingredients and hazards of coffee

The most popular instant coffee on the market is the "three-in-one" instant coffee, and its main ingredient is non-dairy creamer. Non-dairy creamer has a very low protein content and a high saturated fat content, which is difficult for the human body to absorb. Saturated fatty acids are very unhealthy ingredients. Excessive consumption will cause certain damage to the stomach and even have certain adverse effects on our cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. The non-dairy creamer content of three-in-one coffee on the market in my country is over 60%. Long-term consumption of three-in-one coffee will make people more prone to getting angry and more tired than ordinary people.

Long-term consumption of instant coffee can also lead to weight gain. The calories in instant coffee are definitely not low, with 300 to 400 calories per 100 grams. The main ingredients of the popular three-in-one coffee on the market are white sugar and coffee companion with a high sugar content. The fat and sugar content are high, but the protein content is very low, and the nutritional value is far lower than that of freshly ground coffee.

The sugar content of each small bar of instant coffee we usually buy is no less than 80%, about 10-20 grams, which is one-third of the normal daily sugar intake of an adult. Therefore, long-term drinking of instant coffee is likely to cause weight gain. In short, friends who like to drink coffee should drink less instant coffee for the sake of health.
