What is Green Coffee?
It is normal coffee beans that have not been pre-roasted. Recently, this type of coffee is gaining immense popularity due to an important property: it helps to lose weight.
In 2012, American scientists found that green coffee has a fat-burning effect.
The Benefits of Green Coffee?
They contain many useful substances, including:
- Caffeine;
- Organic acids: oxalic, tartaric, citric, malic, chlorogenic;
- Vitamins PP, E, C;
- Amino acids (up to 20 names)!!!
Caffeine is an alkaloid that gives vigor and strength, accelerates metabolism. Sometimes you have to read that there is less caffeine in raw coffee than in roasted coffee, and from this it is concluded that caffeine is formed when heated. This is not true: caffeine in beans cannot be synthesized at high temperatures.
The fact is that when roasting coffee loses moisture, which is why the weight decreases by 10-12%. If you take 100 gr of raw beans, then after roasting they will weigh about 90 gr, but the amount of caffeine will not be changed. Only the percentage of caffeine by weight will be increased.
Vitamin PP dilates blood vessels, prevents the development of hypertension. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that slows down the aging process and accelerates regeneration. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant. It strengthens the immune system, participates in the processes of hematopoiesis.
But the most powerful antioxidant in this coffee is chlorogenic acid.
It is credited with the ability to burn fat in advertising. If roasted coffee is almost as good as green coffee in terms of the content of all other nutrients, then chlorogenic acid decomposes when heated. Its decomposition products impart characteristic bitterness to the roasted beans drink. Green coffee contains up to 10.9% chlorogenic acid. When roasted, it becomes half as much, and only 20% remains in dark roasted beans…
