Instant espresso powder
Description
Instant espresso powder is a finely ground, dark brown powder with an intense, concentrated aroma and a bitter-sour, slightly roasted flavor that quickly dissolves in hot or cold water, giving beverages a full body and distinct notes of cocoa or nuts. The product contains minimal calories and fat, primarily providing caffeine and antioxidants (chlorogenic acids), which may support alertness, concentration, and metabolism, although individuals sensitive to caffeine should limit their intake. In the kitchen, instant espresso perfectly enhances the flavor of desserts, cakes, chocolate sauces, tiramisu, ice creams, and meat marinades, and also facilitates the quick preparation of milk coffees and frozen drinks. It should be stored in a sealed, opaque container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and odors; once opened, it is best used within a few months to maintain its aroma.
