Nescafe Gold Cap Colombia Instant Coffee (Dry Granules) is a beverage consumed for hydration, energy, or enjoyment. Per 100g serving, it provides 118 kcal of energy, 7.8g of protein, 3.1g of carbohydrates, and 0.2g of fat.

It is a good source of protein, providing 7.8g per 100g (around 26% of its energy), approximately 16% of the UK Reference Nutrient Intake of 50g per day. Under UK/EU nutrition-claim rules, that meets the "high protein" threshold of at least 20% of energy from protein. Protein plays a key role in muscle repair, immune function, and keeping you feeling full for longer.

With just 0.2g of fat per 100g, it meets the UK/EU "low fat" nutrition-claim threshold. This makes it a lighter option for those monitoring their fat intake as part of a heart-healthy or weight-management diet.

Each 100g serving provides 34.1g of dietary fibre per 100g, meeting the UK/EU "high fibre" nutrition-claim threshold. The UK government recommends 30g of fibre per day for adults. Adequate fibre intake supports healthy digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and may reduce the risk of heart disease and bowel cancer.

Each 100g serving contains 0.25g of salt, meeting the UK/EU "low salt" nutrition-claim threshold. The NHS recommends adults consume no more than 6g of salt per day, so choosing lower-salt foods like this one makes it easier to stay within that limit and supports healthy blood pressure.

It contains 65mg of caffeine per 100g. The NHS advises that most adults can safely consume up to 400mg of caffeine per day, while pregnant women should limit intake to 200mg.
