Coffee Facts: Because I Love Coffee


Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain Coffea species. Coffee plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa.





1. Coffee beans are seeds and you can eat them as food. 


If you mix coffee berries with fat you can make a perfect energy bar.




 
2. Coffee can be very expensive.


In Thailand, black ivory coffee beans are fed to elephants whose digestive enzymes reduce the bitter taste of beans collected from dung. These beans sell for up to $1,100 a kilogram, achieving the world's most expensive coffee.



3. You can save your leftover beans for a DIY scrub. 


Coffee grounds can lift off dead skin cells and make your face look younger and brighter.


4. Lighter roast has more caffeine.


Sucrose is rapidly lost during the roasting process and may disappear entirely in darker roasts. During roasting, aromatic oils and acids weaken, changing the flavor. Roasting does not alter the amount of caffeine in the bean but does give less caffeine when the beans are measured by volume because the beans expand during roasting.




5. The top country that produces coffee beans.


 
Is brazil. In 2016, world production of green coffee beans was 9.2 million tonnes, led by Brazil with 33% of the total.
