Does Organic Coffee Have Less Mold?
Many may worry that mold in their coffee will harm them, but it’s important to remember that mold spores exist everywhere – from fresh foods and air we breathe to coffee itself. But mycotoxins found in coffee typically don’t pose serious threats even when consumed daily – most commonly from its growing or processing methods and more commonly from conventionally farmed varieties due to pesticide use during cultivation.
Mold needs a damp, warm environment in which to grow; thus it is most likely to appear on green coffee beans that have yet to be roasted, as they remain wet from improper drying processes and do not yet dry properly. Roasting and grinding processes also allow mold growth.
Healthy and eco-friendly farming practices can help protect coffee beans from mold growth; however, mold has ample opportunity to sneak its way in during storage and transportation – which is why lab testing is an invaluable way to guarantee mold free coffee!
Mycotoxins can usually be eliminated by your liver once they enter your system and they tend to only appear in small quantities. That being said, some individuals may be sensitive to mycotoxins and should avoid coffee altogether; such people include those suffering from conditions like autoimmune disease, digestive issues and endocrine disorders.
