    Benefits of Chlorogenic Acid in Coffee

    What is Chlorogenic Acid and where is it found?
    Chlorogenic acid is a natural compound in many fruits, vegetables, and coffee beans. It is a type of polyphenol, a powerful antioxidant known for its health benefits. One of the primary dietary sources of this antioxidant is the chlorogenic acid in coffee.

    When you drink a cup of coffee, you get not only a caffeine boost but also a dose of chlorogenic acid. This compound is also found in significant amounts in fruits such as apples, pears, and berries, as well as in vegetables like artichokes and sunflower seeds.

    Green coffee beans are a rich natural source of chlorogenic acid. The exact amount can vary depending on factors such as the variety of coffee plant and growing conditions. Still, reports reveal that green coffee beans contain a significant amount of chlorogenic acid, ranging from 5 to 12 percent of their total weight. This high chlorogenic acid content is a primary reason green coffee bean extract has gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly in human weight management and overall wellness.

    What are the health benefits of Chlorogenic Acid?
    Chlorogenic acid is being studied for its potential health benefits, and research suggests that it may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. It is also being investigated for its potential to support heart health and aid in weight management. One of the critical benefits of chlorogenic acid is its antioxidant activity. Antioxidants help protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, which can contribute to aging and various diseases. By neutralizing these free radicals, chlorogenic acid may help reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.

    Additionally, chlorogenic acid has been linked to improved insulin sensitivity and regulation of blood sugar levels, which could make it beneficial for individuals at risk of or diagnosed with diabetes. Some studies have also suggested that chlorogenic acid may help reduce blood pressure and support cardiovascular health. Furthermore, chlorogenic acid may contribute to weight management by impacting how the body processes and utilizes glucose and fat. It is believed to influence metabolism and energy expenditure, potentially aiding in maintaining a healthy weight.

    Another study, published in the “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry,” investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of chlorogenic acid in human cells. The results showed that chlorogenic acid had potential anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of inflammatory molecules.

    How is chlorogenic acid most bioavailable?
    The bioavailability of chlorogenic acid depends on several factors. When it comes to coffee consumption, chlorogenic acid is readily available as it is extracted during the brewing process of roasted coffee beans. It is also released during the steeping method of green coffee beans. However, due to the unknown manufacturing processes used when creating commercial-grade green coffee bean extract that is incorporated into health supplements, it can be very difficult to determine the bioavailability of chlorogenic acid.

    Where to access high-quality coffee beans
    Grumpy Goat believes that consuming small-batch, freshly made green coffee bean extract from organic coffee beans ensures the highest level of Chlorogenic Acid bioavailability. The easiest way to access high-quality coffee bean extract is from a coffee roaster that sources specialty-grade, fully traceable coffee beans. Grumpy Goat Coffee roastery, located in Bonita Springs, Florida, is an excellent example of where you can purchase and enjoy your favorite, freshly roasted, origin of brewed coffee.

    Chlorogenic acid alternatives to roasted coffee
    If you already consume coffee, you get the benefits of polyphenols and chlorogenic acid. However, suppose you are looking to add more Chlorogenic Acid to your diet in more hydrating ways without the flavor of roasted coffee. In that case, we suggest trying GrumpyLyte, Grumpy Goat Coffee’s Green Coffee Bean drinks, available in 16 oz and 64 oz containers.

    green bean extract hydration drink by grumpy goat Chlorogenic acid in coffeeGrumpyLyte is formulated with a green bean coffee extract and several electrolytes such as potassium, vitamin C, and filtered water.

    Several natural flavorings are available, such as Mango, Blackberry, Ginger Lime, and more. GrumpyLyte contains no sugars or artificial sweeteners.

    The absence of artificial sugars provides the added benefit of being better for our environment. Chemical sugars such as sucralose can not be digested and broken down by the human body. As a result, these chemicals are eventually released into our environment.

    Research suggests that these chemical sugars promote the growth of cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) in our waterways. Cyanobacteria depletes oxygen for fish, dolphins, and other water-born organisms.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

  • 6 Tweaks to Make your Coffee Healthier

    6 Tweaks to Make your Coffee Healthier

    6 Tweaks to Make Your Coffee Healthier

    Fresh roasted gourmet coffee is a treat all by itself.

    Single origin coffee beans grown at high altitude and rated by professional cuppers at 86 points or higher makes for a triple crown of gourmet coffee.

    But what if you could enjoy your morning brew and also get even more healthy boosts from your coffee routine?

    Look no further.

    Here are six easy coffee add-ons to try to make your coffee even healthier. Try these tweaks to get the most out of your coffee routine.

    6 Tweaks to Make Your Coffee Healthier

    1. Coconut Water

    Popularly used for rehydration (similar to a sports drink) or to help with an illness, coconut water is a safe, additive to coffee.

    Although the Mayo Clinic considers plain water to be a better alternative than coconut water, they acknowledge that coconut water has natural electrolytes.

    Examples include potassium (most people do not get enough potassium), sodium and manganese but amounts vary based on the maturity of the coconut.

    2. Collagen Powder

    If you’ve read about dermatologists suggesting people spike their morning smoothie or coffee with collagen powder, here’s why.

    Although the studies done so far on collagen are small and at least partially funded by industry, many doctors find the results promising.

    According to WebMD.com, “as a protein source alone, collagen is an excellent one, packing in more protein per calorie than other sources while containing less sodium and sugar.”

    Benefits of collagen that preliminary research has revealed are that it’s a powerful wound healer, able to stop bleeding, recruit immune and skin cells, and stimulate new blood vessel formation, skin aging prevention (fewer wrinkles and improved skin elasticity).

    When shopping for collagen powder, seek a trusted brand with a third-party label like NSF or USP.

    3. Cinnamon

    Since medieval times, cinnamon spice (ground up bark from the cinnamon tree), has been both a medicinal treatment and flavor enhancing tool for desserts and candy – and coffee too.

    One of the most significant findings is its relationship to better brain health such as improved memory and learning.

    According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, “in addition to being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancer, lipid-lowering, and cardiovascular-disease-lowering compound, cinnamon has also been reported to have activities against neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.”

    Cinnamon will make a great complement to Central and South American coffee such as Grumpy Goat Brazilian or Costa Rican bean types.

    4. Medicinal Mushrooms

    It is no secret that mushrooms are a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds that offer tremendous medicinal attributes which are valuable for human health.

    Along with enhancing bone health, preventing cardiovascular disease and boosting the immune system, therapeutic applications of edible mushrooms include:

    -anticancerous          -anti-obesity

    -anti-diabetic            -anti-ageing

    -antiasthmatic          -antiviral

    -antiarthritic

    But adding it to coffee may seem odd.

    The types of mushrooms that are recommended by experts to support the immune system are Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi or Cordyceps.

    Here’s how it works according to Microsoft News. “Dried mushrooms are boiled and liquefied into an extract and then added to coffees and teas for an added superfood boost” to your coffee or tea.

    Alternatively, mushroom powders are available too.

    When shopping for these make sure to get a powder made from “whole mushroom fruiting bodies.”

    Some mushroom powders are made with grain fillers or from the roots of the mushroom rather than the mushroom body.

    Read the labels carefully to ensure you select one that will truly offer health benefits.

    Fans rave that this combination results in a robust coffee or tea that is not compromised by any taste of mushrooms.

    5. Fats (Bulletproof Coffee)

    Most people do not think twice about adding milk or cream to their coffee. Milk is a great source of vitamins.

    But they may raise an eyebrow at the suggestion of adding butter or ghee to coffee.

    Also known by the brand name Bulletproof coffee, adding a source of fat such as butter to your coffee may offer health benefits and enhance your coffee drinking experience.

    The idea behind it is since fats can make you feel full faster, you may find that you actually eat less.

    Fats burn slowly within the body which makes them a prolonged source of energy. This helps in the reduction of appetite when compared to adding sugar to coffee. Sugars will spike your blood sugar levels and decrease your ability to burn fat.

    Butter coffee creates a rich, frothy drink. So starting your day with some butter coffee can help decrease your appetite and calorie intake.

    An alternative to butter is ghee, popular in India and Pakistan.

    Ghee is more concentrated in fat than butter because its water and milk solids have been removed.

    According to Healthline, “test-tube and animal studies suggest that these fats may reduce inflammation and promote gut health.”

    Ghee removes all the milk sugar lactose and milk protein casein. This makes it a better option for people who manage allergies or sensitivities to dairy.

    Coconut oil is another option for making a fat enhanced coffee.

    6. Dark Chocolate

    Got a sweet tooth?

    Adding chocolate with a high percentage of cacao instead of sugar may be a better alternative for your health.

    A Clarkson University and University of Georgia study revealed that a caffeine and cocoa combination in coffee created two effects.

    First, quicker response rates were observed. Second, the chocolate coffee combo decreased “caffeine’s anxiety-producing effects.”

    A research abstract published at PubMed.com about cocoa shows that it is loaded with antioxidants and associated with all sorts of health benefits.

    For example, cocoa helps in weight loss.  It also enhances cognition and positive mood and is linked to reduced risk of heart disease.

    The best method to mix chocolate into your coffee is to scrape in thin chocolate shavings. Then slowly stir them into your coffee. The small pieces will melt easier.

    Alternatively place a dark chocolate square in the bottom of your coffee mug.  Then pour your hot coffee over the top. Then give it a minute to melt and then stir. You may end up with some residue at the bottom of your mug but you’ll save the work of making the shavings.

    Another option for your chocolate fix is to try adding a bit of cocoa powder to your coffee for some flavor enhancement and potential health benefits.

    Ingredients

    • ⅓  cup The Shizzle Original Recipe Jerk Marinade
    • 2 cups Kikkoman teriyaki glaze (do not use the teriyaki marinade as it is too similar to soy sauce)

    6. Grill over direct heat and for about 3 minutes and then flip and grill until desired doneness is achieved.
    7. Serve and enjoy!

    Tip: If you want a more smokey flavor, cook over indirect heat and add wood chips to the grill and cook to desired doneness.

    Mexican Coffee Recipe

    Mexican Coffee Recipe with Grumpy Goat Coffee

    Mexican coffee is unique because the brewing process adds in unrefined sugar, cinnamon and fresh orange peel. These ingredients are not just sprinkled in after the coffee is prepared. This makes Mexican coffee both sweet and spicy. Try it for yourself.

    Mexican Coffee Ingredients

    10 coffee cups (60 ounces) strongly brewed Grumpy Goat Colombian Dark Roast
    5 ounces piloncillo*
    1 large cinnamon stick
    ½ orange peel sliced into strips (half of the peel of a medium to large orange)

    *Piloncillo is commonplace in Mexico, but it’s not always easy to find in the United States. It’s unrefined sugar cane, often sold in small cones. You might find it at a Mexican grocery store or in the Latino section of a large supermarket. For the most authentic Café de Olla, use piloncillo. If you can’t find it, though, 1 cup of brown sugar will serve as a fine substitute.

    6 Steps to Brew Mexican Coffee

    1) Brew the Colombian dark roast coffee and then add to a medium saucepan.
    2) Add the piloncillo or brown sugar and stir so it dissolves.
    3) Add cinnamon stick and orange peel slices.
    4) Set the heat to medium and simmer uncovered 15 minutes (if the coffee is boiling it is too hot).
    5) Strain out the cinnamon stick and orange peel.
    6) Serve and enjoy! Garnish with extra cinnamon sticks or orange peels for added flair.

    • Discard the ground coffee and transfer the strained liquid to the base of a food processor.
    • Add the sugar and kosher salt, and spin the mixture until the fat forms into butter and the liquid separates.
    • Transfer the mixture to a large piece of cheesecloth and wring out any excess liquid.

Let cool completely on the racks before serving
