1 teaspoon (medium) of Nescafe Gold coffee (2 g) has 7 calories. That works out to 325 calories per 100 g. It contains 1.2 g of carbs, 0.3 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0.7 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Nescafe Gold coffee is an instant coffee made from roasted coffee beans and sold as soluble granules. Rather than brewing ground beans, you dissolve the granules in hot water for a quick cup.
Its flavour is typically smooth and aromatic. It is often served at breakfast or during a break, either black or with milk; some people also add sugar. Prepared without extras, it is low in calories and provides caffeine. For a lighter cup, skip the sugar, and adjust the strength by using more or fewer granules.
