What Are Coffee Beans? The seeds of a cherry like plant or fruit are coffee beans. They thrive in climates and altitudes similar to where they are cultivated and require a certain amount of moisture, soil composition and other factors to bring them to fruition. They are not only delicious, but they also have numerous health benefits. Coffee is rich in trigonelline that, when roasted, turns into the chemical nicotinic (a water-soluble vitamin B). It also contains phenolic acids, including chlorogenic acid, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Origin Everyone knows what a roast coffee bean looks like, but few people know that it starts out as the fruit of a fruit. A coffee bean is actually a seed that comes from the fruit of specific species of Coffea plants. In the majority of cases the berries split in two and each one has two beans. However, in about 5% all harvested beans only one bean splits. This type of coffee bean is called peaberry. It is typically sorted manually and sold separately. The “Bean Belt” is an area of the globe that lies between the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer is where the bulk of coffee is produced. Coffee is produced in many countries using different methods. Each method has its own distinct taste profile and distinct characteristics. The exact history of coffee is in debate, but it is widely thought that the first coffee plants were indigenous to Abyssinia which is now Ethiopia. The most well-known story tells of a goatherd, Kaldi, who found his goats excited and bleating after consuming the bright red berries that were growing on nearby trees. Kaldi tried the berries and felt a sense exhilaration. Following this, he introduced the drink to his family and it gained popularity. It gained popularity across the Islamic world in the 15th and 16th centuries, despite Islamic authorities declaring it to be intoxicating which was banned by the Qur an. Flavor The taste of coffee beans is influenced by the location and species, the farming method and roasting process. You can get different flavors by altering the temperature and time of the roasting, as well as the air flow during roasting. The kind of syrup used to flavor coffee beans can influence the taste. Flavored coffee is usually made by spraying the beans with oil-based flavoring agent after the roasting process and letting them sit for 30 minutes to allow them to absorb the oils. The coffee beans that are flavored are then graded and sorted. Addition of flavor to coffee beans allows you to customize the taste without altering the color or texture. The flavor of coffee that is flavored is often stronger than that of regular unflavored coffee. This is due to the fact that the beans that are flavored are immersed in flavoring syrup. The taste of coffee can also be affected by the variety of whole spices that are added to it during storage. Coffeee , such as cinnamon sticks, vanilla and cocoa beans can be mixed with freshly made coffee beans in order to give the beans their own distinct flavor. This is particularly efficient when the beans are kept in a sealed container. Health Benefits Coffee beans aren't just a great energy source for your body, but they are also linked to numerous health benefits. These benefits include reducing your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, the disease that causes Parkinson's and liver damage. Caffeine found in coffee beans can improve memory and cognitive performance. Coffee contains antioxidants which fight free radicals. Chlorogenic acid found in coffee is believed to help prevent chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes. Consuming coffee beans has been associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies have also revealed that it can help reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, liver disease, and cancers of the colon and colorectal tract. Coffee has been linked with increased brain function and may even help prevent depression. According to a variety of studies the presence of a certain acid found in coffee may increase levels of serotonin and dopamine. Although drinking coffee beans in raw form is a healthy option for a lot of people, it shouldn't be used to replace a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is recommended that no more than 30 coffee beans be consumed every day, and the effect of caffeine should not be exceeded because it can trigger side effects including jitters, anxiety and insomnia. Also, if you suffer from acid reflux or sensitive stomachs or a sensitive stomach, avoid coffee beans. Preparation The coffee plant produces a drupe, or fruit, with two seeds (or beans) placed flat against one other. Each fruit contains the outer skin, called the exocarp and a thin layer of pulp, known as mesocarp on the top. The coffee seeds are taken from their coverings, sorted, and cleaned before roasting. They are processed by three different methods dry, wet, and a hybrid process known as the wet-processed natural. The beans are then roasted, and can be ground, or left whole. The variety of coffee bean varieties provide many different flavors to complement a variety drink, dessert, and food recipes. The choice of coffee bean for an individual recipe will depend on the desired taste and texture. The coffee bean is covered with wax that is intact when it is whole. This layer shields the flavor and aroma compounds of the coffee from air. After grinding, these compounds are exposed and lose their flavor over time. When you brew coffee, the temperature of the water you use is critical for preserving and capturing the flavors. Pouring your coffee at a low temperature releases less of the flavor that is still developing and pouring at a higher temperature releases more. This is why it's important to prepare your coffee at the appropriate temperature for your preferences. If you don't do this, the flavor will quickly turn bitter or sour.
