Green coffee beans contain high levels of chlorogenic acid, an anti-cancer chemical with numerous health benefits. Caffeine may help increase energy and weight loss as well. Green coffee bean extract has become increasingly popular, specifically due to its weight loss potential; enjoying this natural supplement through capsule form or as part of recipes is one way to benefit.

Organically grown green coffee beans offer you peace of mind when it comes to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, according to Katie Carguilo of Seattle-based Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Conventionally cultivated plants are exposed to harmful agents during their growth process while organically produced beans protect both inner husks and fruit from such agents, according to Carguilo. They’re also free of herbicides; any remaining chemicals are then destroyed during roasting process.

As well as purchasing organically-grown beans, consider investing in certified fair trade or Rainforest Alliance green coffee beans. These third-party certifications help ensure workers receive fair wages and safe working conditions, and if you want to take it one step further look for Smithsonian Bird Friendly or Demeter certified coffees; these labels help preserve rainforest habitat while fighting climate change and promoting biodiversity.

To brew green coffee beans, simply steep ground or whole beans in hot water for approximately 10 minutes until the water becomes warm enough to drink. A medium-fine grind produces optimal results; using filtered or spring water allows your beans to absorb more than tap water would.

Green coffee beans can also be used to craft other beverages, including iced tea and smoothies. Keep in mind that green coffee beans have a potency and often bitter flavor; adding spices or sweeteners may help ease this sensation; for a smoother experience try blending with milk (or non-dairy alternatives) to form a latte!

Alternative approaches include adding powdered green coffee beans into food items to get their benefits without bitter flavors. It is important to follow the dosage instructions from any product purchased as overdoing it could have serious repercussions.
