The Benefits and Side Effects of Coffee Beans Coffee beans are awash with health benefits. They can improve cognitive function as well as reduce the risk of developing heart disease. However, consuming too many beans may cause negative side effects such as anxiety and insomnia. The flavor of a coffee may vary depending on the elevation, terrain, and cultivation methods. The variety of plant also affects its taste. Origin Coffee beans are the seeds of a tropical evergreen plant. The beans are roasted, then ground into the most loved coffee drink in the world. Coffee is the world's third most loved beverage and is one of the most profitable commodities. It is famous for its energizing effects, due to the alkaloid caffeine. The most well-known story about the origins of coffee is an Abyssinian goat herder called Kaldi, who noticed his animals becoming energetic after eating berries that were cultivated from certain plants. The berries were found to be energizing, and he began cultivating the plant. In the 16th century, coffee was brought eastwards to the Arabian Peninsula where it was grown on the Yemeni peninsula. The first coffee houses were established. These gathering places were opposed to the taverns of Europe, and focused on high-speed conversations and fast-paced thinking. The majority of the coffee that is produced today comes from two types of plants called Arabica and Robusta. They thrive best in the region known as the Bean Belt that stretches an area between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. Coffeee There are many different types of coffee beans, and each type has its own distinctive flavor profile. The regions in which beans are grown affect their flavors. For example, Ethiopian coffee is known for its citrus and floral notes, whereas Colombian beans are full-bodied and have balanced acidity. Coffee beans are harvested in many different ways, and some are transformed to enhance their taste. Some beans are dried, roasted and then ground. Others are frozen and then ground later. They may also be polished to remove the silver skin that covers the bean, a process referred to as depulping. The beans are then graded and sorted according to weight and size and any imperfections are eliminated either by hand or by machines. Robusta plants are more resistant to pests and can grow at lower elevations than Arabica plants. They also have more caffeine than Arabica beans and are used in blends or instants. However, a growing number of coffee drinkers are embracing the distinctive flavor and high quality of single origin coffees. Flavor Coffee beans can be infused with a variety flavors to add new dimensions to desserts, drinks and food recipes. The ideal type of beans to use in a recipe will depend on the flavor profile you want and the way in which the recipe will be executed. The coffee bean is actually a seed, containing minerals, proteins and lipids. It also contains pollysaccharides, lipids and proteins. The seed is protected by silverskin, which is removed during roasting. When the seeds are heated, they begin a series reaction that result in their aroma, flavor and color. Natural coffee flavors are highly sought-after by purists. It is possible to flavor roast coffee beans with artificial flavors. To enhance the flavor of a batch the roaster sprays flavorful oil on the beans. The flavored oil will be added to the beans to ensure that it is evenly distributed. The beans are then chilled and ground before being packaged. The coffee beans with a flavor can be brewed to make the flavor of your coffee or consumed as a snack or meal without brewing. Health benefits Coffee beans are a source of caffeine, which is a powerful stimulant that can boost your energy and improve mood. They also contain phenolics which are antioxidants that protect cells from damage. According to the National Institutes of Health, these compounds are associated with lower risk of heart disease and cancer. The seeds of the coffee plant are contained in the fruit that resembles an apple. The typical fruit has two seeds, laid on top of each other. Certain fruits contain only one seed. These are known as peaberries. Peaberries make a weaker, less flavorful cup. Roasting coffee beans alters the taste of the beans and makes them more pleasing to the palate. Roasting the beans makes them easier to digest by the body. The phenolic components in coffee beans are known to prevent the formation of glucose in the liver, and may lower cholesterol levels in blood. They are also thought to decrease the likelihood of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cirrhosis, and may reduce the risk of gallstones. Coffee beans are a great source of potassium, riboflavin, B vitamins and fiber. Side effects The seeds of the coffee plant are typically roast and then brewed to make a popular beverage. Coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes and liver diseases. Caffeine in brewed coffee may cause adverse effects like heartburn, jitters and high blood pressure for some people. Green coffee bean extract, a caffeine-free alternative has been found to provide some of the same benefits without the negative side effects of caffeine. Coffee beans contain a range of volatile and nonvolatile chemicals which protect them from disease, insects and oxidation. These chemicals also contribute to their flavor. Nonvolatile chemicals create waxy layers on the coffee beans. This coating deters insects from consuming the beans and allows the beans to retain moisture. The fatty acids contained in coffee beans are converted into energy when the beans are roast. This energy can improve mental performance. It also increases the release of adrenaline, a hormone that prepares the body for physical exertion. The chlorogenic acid found in green coffee beans can reduce fat absorption and slow down the release sugar from the digestive tract.
