Adding a little coffee to any chocolate related recipe is known to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. Now coffee is about to take a spring forward in the kitchen. With studies showing the benefits of coffee, many companies are ingeniously finding new ways to promote coffee products.<\/p>\n

One of the more traditional way of using coffee in cooking was to add brewed coffee or fine ground coffee to a recipe. One recipe I used, called for a small amount (1 tsp to 1 tbsp) of instant Coffee to be added to the mix when making chocolate chip cookies. In case you’re not sure, Folgers is an example of instant coffee.<\/p>\n

Coffee Flour is made with the “cherry” that grows along the branch\u2019s that contain the bean (or seeds). Once the coffee beans (or seeds) are removed the leftover red cherry berry is dried, lightly roasted and pulverized into a flour-sized powder. There are numerous potential uses this nutritional flour and recipes are growing. Coffee flour has a \u201cfloral, citrus and roasted fruit-type” flavor, not a coffee flavor. Coffee flour does contain caffeine, however the amount would vary by the coffee flour content of the product.<\/p>\n
