About Ipa
India Pale Ale (IPA) is a style of beer that originated in England in the late 18th century, designed with higher alcohol content and hops to survive long journeys to British colonies, especially India. It is characterized by its strong hop flavor and bitterness. Nutritionally, IPAs are calorie-dense compared to some beverages, averaging around 50-60 calories per 100ml, with minimal protein, carbs, and negligible fat. IPAs offer no significant dietary fiber, vitamins, or minerals, but trace amounts of calcium and iron are generally present. While consumed globally, it is a key element of Western cuisine, especially in craft beer culture.
Health Benefits
- Moderate IPA consumption may promote relaxation and stress reduction due to ethanol-induced effects on the central nervous system.
- IPAs provide trace amounts of calcium (approximately 3.9mg per 100ml), which supports bone health.
- Contains small amounts of iron (0.028mg per 100ml) important for oxygen transport in the blood.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store IPAs in a cool, dark place, ideally in the refrigerator, and consume fresh to retain hop flavor and aroma.
