What is matcha?

The health and wellness information portal WebMD explains that matcha is a finely ground powder made from green tea leaves. It gets its vibrant green colour by being planted in the shade, which boosts the plants' chlorophyll and amino acids.

The benefits of matcha

Rudo Tshabalala, a local clinical dietician, explained to Briefly News:

"Matcha has caffeine, so it will give one improved energy and may speed up their metabolism, promoting weight loss."

The expert also noted that matcha contains fibre (which promotes gut health and digestion), vitamin C, magnesium and zinc.

"Although there aren't enough studies, it could possibly help reduce blood glucose and improve insulin resistance and cholesterol."
