What it is

Green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation. This process preserves the natural green color and beneficial compounds. It is consumed as a beverage and used as an ingredient in various food products.

Why it's used

Green tea is used to impart a distinct flavor and color to foods. It is often found in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages. Manufacturers may also use it for its perceived health benefits.

Health notes

Green tea and its extracts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains antioxidants, such as catechins, which are studied for their potential health effects. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated green tea extracts, but no specific numeric limits are set for its general consumption as a food ingredient. Research on the health impacts of green tea is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits related to heart health and metabolism, while others show mixed results.

Allergen info

Green tea is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
