Why is instant coffee unhealthy compared with boutique coffee?

Although coffee is good for health, not all coffee is healthy. Most of the food industry is like this, most of the ingredients used by human beings in nature are healthy, but improper processing and storage methods also affect their health to a great extent, such as canned food, fried food and puffed food. The same goes for coffee.

So, what kind of coffee is healthy? How to drink coffee healthily? Here we uncover the myth of coffee and health by comparing the common coffee products in the market.

First of all, instant coffee is not coffee, please drink freshly roasted raw bean coffee. Instant coffee does more harm than good to the body. If you have to find an advantage for instant coffee, the only advantage is "convenience"-it is more convenient than instant noodle coffee, but don't lose your health for the sake of convenience.

The coffee we drink is extracted from the seeds (professionally known as "coffee raw beans, Green Bean") from the fruits of coffee trees after roasting, grinding and extraction. Coffee, which is rich in a variety of aromas and flavors, has a higher demand for freshness, because with the oxidation of the air, the aroma of the coffee will gradually evaporate, and the fat inside the coffee beans will also oxidize and deteriorate. In general, the shelf life of coffee beans in circulation in the market is marked as 1 year or even 2 years, but in fact, the effective life of coffee is only 2 weeks, although it is not absolutely undrinkable after two weeks, but its high-quality aroma and taste cannot be guaranteed.

Why is instant coffee unhealthy compared with raw bean coffee?

First of all, the raw materials used for processing instant coffee are shoddy coffee beans. The variety of coffee beans used in instant coffee is Robosta, which has high yield and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests, but the aroma of coffee beans is thin and bitter, and the caffeine content is twice or more than that of Arabica species. however, high yield and low price is the primary reason for instant coffee enterprises to choose this variety as raw material.

Second, instant coffee is roasted, ground, extracted and then dried quickly, processed and extracted into water-soluble powdered dairy products, that is to say, instant coffee is no longer coffee in nature.

Third, the raw materials themselves lack fragrance, and most of the aroma is lost in the processing process, which makes instant coffee have to add a lot of flavor, cream to reconcile the "aroma" of coffee. This is the real reason why instant coffee becomes a "health killer". So the coffee aroma of instant coffee is chemical synthesis rather than real coffee aroma, which is similar to vinegar and saccharin to some extent.

According to the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 100 kinds of foods, including instant coffee, contain the carcinogen acrylamide, which has something to do with instant chemical addition.

So, if you want to drink coffee healthily, please stay away from instant, no matter how much they say, "it's delicious!" Or "Didi fragrant, meaning is not enough", do not be blinded by the black bitter water wrapped in saccharin and cream essence, if you like coffee, please drink raw bean coffee.
