Organic 100% Arabica Spray Dried Coffee

Coffee is a brewed beverage made from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant. "100% Arabica" means the coffee comes from the Arabica species of coffee bean, known for its aromatic qualities. "Spray dried" is a method of dehydration where liquid coffee is sprayed into a hot air stream, quickly drying it into a powder.

Coffee powder is primarily used to create instant coffee beverages. It can also be used as a flavoring agent in baked goods, desserts, and confectionery, adding a distinct coffee taste. Manufacturers use it for convenience and to provide a consistent coffee flavor.

Coffee is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It contains caffeine, a stimulant that can increase alertness and energy levels in moderate amounts. JECFA has evaluated coffee and its constituents, establishing acceptable daily intakes for certain components. While generally safe, excessive caffeine intake can lead to anxiety, insomnia, and heart palpitations in sensitive individuals.
