Is Coffee Really a Fruit?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- The coffee plant is a fruit tree. The fruits are similar in appearance to berries. They start green, and as they ripen, they turn redder.
After being picked, the skin and pulp are removed and what’s left is the seeds.
The seeds are eventually roasted, and they are then known as ‘coffee beans.’

Is this were you sign up? Great video btw
Ja tak. Kunne være hyggeligt med en kaffe-stueplante ;)
I'll take my chances it the seeds giveaway :-)
Would be fun to try and grow the coffee cherries!
Let's plant some seeds!
I've tried cascara tea. The dried pulp of coffee cherries was given by my local roaster as freebies in one of their promotion. Taste like red dates tea 😋
Yes, it's quite delicious but pretty different from normal coffee 👍
That seems like a very good way to use the byproducts of coffee growing. Must be an extreme amount of pulp/skin that gets thrown away that could be used in some form for flavor
This was a super insightful and interesting video! I'd love to see a video that goes more in depth with different processing methods.
it looks like a waste to throw it away but coffee is heavily pesticided.
A natural processed organic may be my next shopping internet search
I’m so happy I found your channel. I just love your down to earth nerdiness.
Thanks Otto!
Great information. Is it too late to get some seeds?
So informative, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this, thanks! ❤
Exactly the video I was looking for (as I drink coffee). Cheers.
If it's the seed of a fruit, why haven't we tried processing and roasting the seeds of all different types of fruit - like apple seeds, orange seeds, grapefruit seeds...etc...? Every fruit might be able to produce a coffee-like beverage...
We have tried fenugreek, date seeds etc
Apple seeds are a terrible idea, they contain cyanide.
you think we just randomly only tried a single one, and that one had caffeine in it? Really? If we could use other seeds we would.
I personally tried mango seeds. Below the hard shell is a soft seed that was ok to eat when roasted. Bitter when raw. And i tried different types each had a different taste. I did actually enjoy few. Just sharing
Well apple seeds are high in poisonous cyanide
Really cool video! I was actually watching this while drinking a cascara infusion.
I just sent some cascara to all my coffee drinking friends and am waiting for their thoughts. I've always wanted to try growing a coffee tree. As a home roaster I find coffee not only a great drink, but also an intriguing plant. Thanks for the great video. Nice work.
Thanks for the kind words! Home roasting is one of the best ways to really learn about coffee
Very interesting. Congrats!
even as someone familiar with the information given, I still found this content super fresh and fun! I would totally like to experience a coffee cherry, just because I think it could be interesting :)
Thanks, that's great to hear :)
we have a coffee farm in Honduras the berry is sweet but we mostly just peel it ,
and make then into food for plants.
Brill info, I definitely will try to follow guidance of this lovely person. 👍
Excellent video! I really enjoyed the content and was glued to the screen. There's something else I'd like to add though. The reason we enjoy other fruits with seeds (like apples, oranges or watermelons) is because we bred them over the years to have a greater Pulp/Seed ratio. We did nothing with the coffee cherry and that's why it isn't a familiar taste to the taste buds. We specifically cultivated coffee plants for their seeds.
Thanks Evam! Good point about the human involvement. Now I wonder if we could turn the coffee cherry into a coffee peach instead 😉
@@coffeechronicler hahaha, I can already imagine myself starting the day with a cup of coffee and ending it with a Coffee peach cocktail.
Lighting looking better!
Actually I have eaten coffee beans - Our local roaster have on occasion roasted some beans then dipped in chocolate. They are a tasty treat..
Saw your video in an article but couldn't give a thumbs up in that format. Looked it up on RUclips and gave it a thumbs up.
Answered most all my questions about the cherry.
Presently drinking a coffee that has blueberry overtones which I find interesting but don't understand why. It's an Ethiopian Moka Sida light roast. I'm sure my roaster will have more info next time I visit.
Thanks, appreciate the effort! Ethiopian coffee is famous for blueberry notes, especially the natural processed ones. They can be amazing.
@@coffeechronicler
Your welcome!
Interesting but why blueberry overtones, that's the thing that confuses me.
It's a red fruit and although sweet doesn't taste like a blueberry. Then when roasting beans, that's when most of the flavor of coffee takes place. So, why blueberry?
It's not that I don't like blueberry but when I seek out a coffee, I'm certainly not anticipating or seeking out the taste of blueberry.
DISCLAIMER:
My comments should not be considered a campaign of hate against the beloved blueberry.
I never came across one I didn't truly love!
It seems coffee cherry is a very good brain food, one of the best. It's being used in vitamin supplements now.
Subscribing cos been thinking about growing my own coffee for self consumption and i want to know how it goes for you!
I've always been curious to eat a coffee cherry. Now I'm even more curious, and I'm no closer to getting it 🤣🤣🤣
It takes some years for it to carry fruit :)
I want to try the fruit
Apparently one of the healthiest foods you can get/eat. the coffee cherry/fruit. Where can these be bought from?
Yes, I do believe they are packed with antioxidants. But due to lack of demand, they will be almost impossible to get fresh, the only way is to visit a farm at the moment. Cascara is probably your best bet.
So coffee fruit extract is the same as green coffee bean extract because the raw fruit contains the green” bean?”
Well this was interesting
Very interesting!
I look at coffee cherries and they kind of remind me of grapes so I do wonder, could you actually make a coffee cherry wine with including the seeds?
Why is coffee cherry not sold at grocery stores like other fruits are?
It's mostly skin and seeds, no fruit meat to speak of
I mean fruit and seed together like how a grape is sold.
Btw do you believe in the saying that peaberry beans have a better flavor?
The short answer is no :) But I have written a longer article about it here: coffeechronicler.com/peaberry/
How much caffeine is in each cherry pulp?
Anti oxidants , someone said, takes oxygen out of the blood, which we need. What are we doing, in memory, then ?
Why do we drink it ? Really i thought all fruits make juice tea smoothie etc and are drunk .
"coffee is a fruit, why do we drink it?" oh, yeah. let's get superstitious about juicing coffee cherries and completely ignore orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, lemon juice and freshly squeezed lemonade, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice for the ladies, pomegranate juice, lime juice and freshly squeezed limeade, pineapple juice and tomato juice. hell, we done squeezed beets, carrots, celery, even clams.
What is the best way to take away a coffee bean's virginity?
You pop its cherry.
I came by to verify that beans are carb loaded. HOWEVER... learning it's a SEED...🤷. Do You have any content that Coffee was introduced to world thanks to a Goat 🐐 Herder who wondered why His flock was frolicking beyond sleep time? Nam Nam BUZZ!
3 years after your dream of being "self sufficient" from your planted coffee cherry sapling - has that happened? ;)
Hehe, not quite! I managed to get two trees to carry fruit last year, but due to travel, they were left with improper care for a while, and sadly, they didn't survive.
I'll plant some more, though, but don't think I'll get to self-sufficient anytime soon :D
@@coffeechronicler Due to your inspiration, I've got an indoor sapling. Doubt I'll see it fruit, but my children might :)
Cascara is Spanish, and it means shell or husk. The accent is on the first syllable.
