Turkish coffee is unfiltered, which is why its fine grounds wind up in each cup. These grounds contain healthful compounds including antioxidants on which the body relies to support overall health by reducing the numbers of free radicals circulating in the body. Free radicals are oxidized molecules that occur naturally, but when they increase in number, owing to environmental toxins like pollution, they can pave the way to disease. A diet rich in antioxidants is associated with improved health.
