Fresh Roasted Coffee

Coffee beans are the seeds of berries from the Coffea plant, native to Africa. "Fresh roasted" means the beans have recently undergone a heating process to develop their flavor and aroma. Roasting transforms the beans' chemical and physical properties, making them ready for brewing.

Coffee is primarily used to make a popular beverage, valued for its stimulating effect due to caffeine. It can also be used as a flavoring agent in desserts, baked goods, and confectionery. Manufacturers use it in ready-to-drink coffee products, coffee-flavored snacks, and even some savory dishes.

Coffee is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. It contains caffeine, a stimulant that can increase alertness and energy levels. High intake may lead to anxiety, insomnia, or digestive issues in some individuals. Both JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and its components. Research on coffee's long-term health effects is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others highlighting risks associated with high consumption.
