The trend towards the introduction of unnatural additives into popular food and drink products has not bypassed instant coffee either. Although initially it was positioned as an analogue of natural coffee beans.
Indeed, natural instant coffee is ground coffee beans but exposed to water and steam. In short, dried extract. Some manufacturers began adding chicory to the instant drink several decades ago.
But it was an innocent addition, which is honestly indicated on the jar. I remember that this was the composition of the Bru coffee popular in the late 90s, whose advertising slogan was two catchy rhyming lines - I always take my favorite Bru coffee with me.
Finding the perfect instant coffee (organic) today with nothing but coffee added to it is very difficult. As a rule, in addition to the coffee itself, made from low-quality beans, the packaging contains flavors, stabilizers, dyes, coffee oil.
Moreover, the question arises - is there caffeine there? Some manufacturers have long been replacing it with carbonic acid. Most packs of instant coffee on sale contain only 20% natural substances. It is not at all necessary that coffee is meant by natural substances.
