Thanks to its use, the product retains up to 95% of the nutrients contained in coffee beans. Natural essential oils give the drink a delicate refined aroma.
The difference between freeze-dried coffee and granular coffee is that the latter is made using a coarser spray-drying technology. During prolonged heat treatment of raw materials, it almost completely loses its useful properties. The resulting product does not have a pronounced coffee smell and color, and therefore dyes, flavors, flavor enhancers, etc. are added to it. Such a drink is very far from a natural grain analogue. This fact determines its relatively low cost. The price of freeze-dried coffee is much higher. However, it should be noted that it is highly discouraged to abuse such a drink. After all, it contains a lot of caffeine. Similarly, a granulated drink is much safer. But nevertheless, doctors do not advise drinking it in large quantities and on an empty stomach.
