Cáscara is the outer layer of the red coffee fruit that surrounds the two seeds known as coffee beans. These seeds are roasted to produce the globally recognized beverage, coffee. However, the complete fruit is not solely composed of the seeds. The anatomy of the fruit includes an outer layer technically referred to as husk, an inner pulp, and mucilage, a viscous substance containing most of the fructose present in coffee. Collectively, this entire fruit without the seeds is commonly called coffee cherry or cáscara.
Before, cáscara was considered a valueless byproduct in coffee industry, but in recent years, it has gained significant recognition for its versatility and benefits. This discovery has allowed us to explore the potential of this product and use it not only to create functional beverages but also to make a positive impact on society, aiding the prosperity of all coffee farmers and producers. Additionally, we contribute to a healthier environment by giving a second chance to this raw material and promoting sustainable practices.

Panela, also known as unrefined cane sugar, is a natural sweetener extracted from sugarcane without undergoing processing. It is rich in minerals, particularly potassium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, as well as vitamins A and C. It is the most natural sweetener possible, derived from sugarcane juice. It is traditionally obtained in processing centers called 'trapiches,' where Colombian panela makers craft it by slow-cooking the juice until most of the product's moisture evaporates and it becomes a solid food.
Citric acid, an organic compound, is naturally found in various fruits. Its most notable property lies in its effectiveness as a preservative, thanks to its role as a natural antioxidant.
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a fruit whose sweetness comes from natural compounds called mogrosides, rather than from sugars like fructose or glucose. These mogrosides are extracted from freshly pressed fruit juice and are not metabolized like sugars, meaning they do not raise blood sugar levels. Monk fruit offers various health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and is considered friendly to the digestive system, as it does not ferment in the gut or cause discomfort. This makes it a suitable sweetener for those managing diabetes or looking for a low-calorie sugar alternative.
