About Coffe with cream
Coffee with cream is a popular beverage globally, combining brewed coffee, typically made from roasted coffee beans, with the addition of cream. Coffee originated in Ethiopia and has become a key cultural beverage in countless cuisines, particularly in Europe and North America. Nutritionally, coffee itself is low-calorie, containing negligible macronutrients, but the addition of cream contributes fat, calories, and small amounts of proteins. Cream is a source of saturated fat and small quantities of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. The caloric content and nutritional profile can vary based on the type and quantity of cream used.
Health Benefits
- Coffee contains antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid that may help reduce inflammation in the body.
- Cream provides vitamin A, which supports vision and immune function.
- Caffeine in coffee can enhance mental alertness and improve cognitive function.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store cream in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below, and use coffee soon after brewing for the best flavor. Do not leave coffee with cream at room temperature for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
