Sulfur (S) is an essential nutrient essential to all life forms and essential for plant growth and metabolism as well as human nutrition and health. Sulfur plays an integral part of cysteine and methionine amino acid chains found in humans’ diets; vegetables (primarily Brassica veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage) and Allium vegetables such as garlic leeks onions provide us with ample amounts of sulfur as well as vital micronutrients like vitamins polyphenols fiber etc.

Even though conventional coffee beans are commonly exposed to pesticides and fungicides to ward off disease and insects, organic coffee has much lower pesticide use rates for production, making it healthier both in terms of taste as well as body.

Purchase of organic coffee supports farmers who employ environmentally-friendly practices without petroleum-based fertilizer use in production. Furthermore, organic farms promote biodiversity and healthy ecosystems in their regions of operation so you can feel good supporting these products with your purchase.

Organic coffee beans do not contain any traces of harmful synthetic chemicals or additives, in order to meet this standard they must be grown on land that hasn’t been treated with prohibited substances for three years prior to harvest. This gives the beans time to develop natural resistance against any chemicals introduced through conventional cultivation techniques that might otherwise harm them.

Beans must also be grown under the shade of forests and in an environment rich in biodiversity to reduce soil erosion and promote bird populations that will help keep insect numbers down naturally. By keeping local ecosystems healthy, farms are better positioned to withstand climate change impacts while remaining resilient against any unpredictable weather patterns that arise.

2. Furfurylthiol (2FFT), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and thiophene (THIO) are key contributors of coffee’s roasting aroma, but their loss due to evaporation or degradation greatly diminishes flavor intensity of roasted coffee. To combat this issue, they were successfully encapsulated with Gum Arabicic (GA) and Maltodextrin (MD), with this process validated using a GC-quadrupole mass spectrometer operating in SIM mode.

Some small-scale family farms employ limited fungicide use to combat Roya, a fungal pathogen that threatens bean quality. Fungicide use should only occur where Roya is present – typically only on parts of plants where Roya can be detected.
