Cafeaua – informatii nutritionale

Profilul nutrițional al cafelei

Această secțiune oferă informații cu privire la profilul nutrițional al cafelei pentru o ceașcă de cafea neagră. În acest articol, este discutat profilul nutrițional al unei porții de cafea de 100ml de tărie medie, fără adaosuri și cu cafeină. Cu toate acestea, adăugarea laptelui, smântânii, zahărului și a altor îndulcitori vor afecta profilul nutrițional final al unei cești de cafea.

Informații nutriționale

Cafeaua neagră conține cantități insignifiante de micronutrienți, grăsimi, carbohidrați și proteine și prin urmare conține doar 1-2 kcal per 100ml³².

Însă, profilul nutrițional final al cafelei va fi afectat de o serie de factori:

•  Adăugarea laptelui, frișcăi, zahărului sau a altor îndulcitori va afecta valoarea nutrițională finală și poate conduce la un conținut caloric mai mare.
• Variațiile în ceea ce privește dimensiunea ceștii utilizată la nivelul Europei poate, de asemenea, modifica valoarea nutrițională.

Cafeaua neagră conține un număr de micronutrienți, mai exact potasiu, magneziu și niacin. Nivelul de sodiu este foarte scăzut. Datele de mai jos prezintă profilul nutrițional dat de micronutrienți pentru o ceașcă de cafea de 100 ml de tărie medie, fără adaosuri ³².

Tipul de apă utilizată la preparare (ex. apă dură sau cu grad scăzut de duritate) pot influența conținutul de micronutrienți al unei cești de cafea neagră, în special în relația cu nivelurile de calciu și magneziu. Ușoare variații în ceea ce privește compoziția pot apărea din cauza originii, condițiilor de cultivare, compoziției amestecului și procesării cafelei.
