About black coffee without sugar
Where it comes from
O cafeeiro é originário da Etiópia e foi cultivado pela primeira vez pelos árabes. Chegou ao Brasil em 1727: os primeiros pés de café plantados no país vieram da Guiana Francesa, e a Embrapa atribui ao oficial português Francisco de Mello Palheta a responsabilidade de ter trazido a planta.
Who eats it, in Brazil
O café é o alimento mais frequentemente citado pelos brasileiros: segundo a Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares do IBGE (2017-2018), 78,1% das pessoas relataram ter consumido café no dia anterior à entrevista, a maior frequência entre todos os alimentos pesquisados, e o café também teve a maior média de consumo diário per capita do país. A Embrapa registra ainda mais de trezentos mil cafeicultores no Brasil.
What it is for in the diet
Na alimentação, o café é usado para preparar uma bebida quente por infusão do pó torrado e moído em água. Segundo a Embrapa, a torrefação e a moagem são as etapas que desenvolvem a cor, o aroma e o sabor da bebida antes do consumo.
When it is used
O grau de torra (leve, média ou escura) é escolhido conforme o sabor e o aroma desejados no preparo. Uma vez torrado e moído, o café deve ser usado logo após o preparo: segundo a Embrapa, se não for bem conservado, ele perde o aroma em poucos dias.
A detail almost nobody tells
O chamado "café velho", com sabor de rançoso, tem explicação química: segundo a Embrapa, é a oxidação dos lipídeos presentes no grão torrado que causa a perda do aroma e do sabor característicos da bebida.

How to read this data
The composition reference gives amounts per 100 g of the edible part, in the form of the food indicated by its name. A raw version is not equivalent to the same mass already cooked: water, preparation, salt, oil and fillings can change the results.
A zero value in the catalog does not guarantee absolute absence of the nutrient. Darwin's numbers are a reference reading and do not replace the product packaging or an individual nutritional assessment.
