What it is

Freeze-dried coffee is regular coffee that has been dehydrated using a process called freeze-drying. This method involves freezing the coffee and then removing the water as ice vapor under vacuum. It helps preserve the coffee's flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Freeze-dried coffee is primarily used to add a coffee flavor to foods and beverages. It is often found in desserts like ice cream and chocolate, as well as in some drink mixes. Its concentrated form allows for easy incorporation into various recipes.

Health notes

Freeze-dried coffee is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. The FDA has not set specific upper limits for its consumption as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, generally finding them safe at typical consumption levels. However, individual sensitivity to caffeine can vary.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Coffee beans are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA, nor do they contain gluten.
