Does Organic Coffee Fruit Have Caffeine?
Coffee is an internationally consumed drink, yet many don’t realize its source is actually seeds from small red fruits known as coffee berries (also referred to as “coffee cherries”). These coffee cherries contain naturally occurring pigments called anthocyanins which provide health benefits that may help protect against chronic illnesses like cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders.
Coffee cherries boast nearly the same amount of anthocyanins found in blueberries and purple grapes, along with other essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, vitamin C, fiber, folate and manganese. While coffee cherries are most frequently used to produce coffee beverages themselves, they can also be utilized in making tea!
Recent research indicates that drinking coffee infused with coffee berry extract may help improve memory. Caffeine from coffee berries has been found to stimulate blood flow to the brain, leading to greater mental clarity and focus.
Coffee berries contain caffeine, which has been shown to alleviate stress and enhance mood, possibly due to high concentrations of L-theanine, an amino acid proven to promote concentration and reduce anxiety.
Fruit is also packed with polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that have long been recognized for their ability to protect against everyday stressors. Polyphenols also support healthy gut bacteria and skin function. In a study comparing levels of caffeine and polyphenols found in organic and conventional coffee, researchers determined that organic coffee had more of its bioactive compounds intact.
Coffee fruit preservation not only brings many health advantages to humans but can also promote sustainability within the coffee industry. Roasting and brewing produce large amounts of waste which breaks down and releases mycotoxins that may harm humans or the environment; by preserving coffee fruit soon after harvest, farmers can reduce this waste while protecting both humans and the environment.
