Gourmets disdain tea bags and instant coffee. Perhaps they are doing the right thing, because it is unknown what consequences the use of such products will lead to.
Instant coffee alone has gathered around itself a mass of pseudo-scientific myths, so much so that part of the population simply intuitively avoids it.
Is it possible to drink instant coffee with benefit for the body or at least without harm to health, reports the portal " TUT News ".
To understand this issue, you need to understand how instant coffee is made.
Production
1. First, the coffee beans are roasted, then they are ground. Nothing fancy.
2. Then the concentrated mixture is boiled.
3. At the next stage, the concentrate is dried under high pressure. This is how the granules familiar to many appear.
Benefits of Instant Coffee
Long-term processing leads to a decrease in the amount of useful substances in the granules.
Therefore, it is not worth comparing the beneficial properties of natural and instant coffee.
However, there are some pleasant moments that cannot be ignored.
In particular, instant coffee contains a minimum of cafestol, which provokes the formation of plaques in blood vessels.
But if you brew coffee in a Turk, the level of harmful compounds increases several times.
At the same time, instant coffee will invigorate you just as well as ground coffee, but it will contain less caffeine.
A fly in the ointment
As for the negative aspects, here first of all it is necessary to point out the products of dubious quality from an unscrupulous manufacturer.
Otherwise, it all depends on how often a person drinks instant coffee and what additives (sugar, cream, flavorings, syrups, etc.) he uses.
