Unbeknownst to most consumers, virtually all brands of coffee contain mold and mycotoxins (also known as aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A). Mycotoxins pose serious health risks which may have long-term negative repercussions for your body.

To stay safe, it’s essential that the coffee you drink has been independently tested for mycotoxins. That’s why we highly recommend our Low Acid Mold Free Coffee from Natural Force; it has been independently lab tested as mycotoxin free!

Grown Without Pesticides

People often select organic coffee beans because they believe the chemicals used in conventional farming won’t linger in their cup of joe. It is important to remember, however, that organically produced coffee doesn’t protect you against mold and mycotoxin contamination as tropical crops such as coffee are susceptible to mold growth from day one and storage conditions may promote its expansion – thus it’s vital that consumers find a brand with both mold and mycotoxin-free options.

Mold is a form of fungus that spreads throughout the air, producing mycotoxins in dangerous quantities that are toxic to humans when consumed in large amounts. Mycotoxins can be found in many fruits and vegetables as well as coffee beans; to avoid trigger mast cell activation syndrome which releases histamines by drinking this kind of coffee is best.

Mold- and pesticide-free coffee tends to taste much better than its contaminated counterpart, as it will not leave an unpleasant aftertaste or bitter taste in your mouth. Furthermore, mold-free varieties tend to have lower acid levels which is easier on your stomach.

Looking for mold, mycotoxins and pesticide-free coffee? When shopping independently tested brands like Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee you can rest easy knowing you have something free from all these contaminants – USDA organic and Fair Trade certified, with its unique combination of green tea extract giving it an unique flavor profile.

One way of finding mold-free coffee is to purchase a coffee bean starter bundle pack that contains both ground and whole beans, such as Balance Coffee’s starter bundle pack. This option is great because it is organic, fair trade and free from mold, mycotoxins and pesticides; additionally it comes from small farms and gives back to local communities – its founder had suffered from mycotoxins himself so created this blend to address his symptoms.

Tested for Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced when mold grows on coffee beans, and can have serious repercussions for our health. Mycotoxins may lead to symptoms including digestive problems, fatigue, mood disorders and brain fog. There are ways you can limit mycotoxins in your daily cup of joe; one option would be choosing an independently tested brand of coffee made from certified organic beans that has been stored in an appropriate manner post roasting.

Organically-grown coffee beans tend to be less likely to contain mycotoxins than their conventionally grown counterparts; however, mycotoxins can still be present if conditions during growing and storage are less than ideal.

Aflatoxin B1 (also referred to as aflatoxin AF1) is one of the most harmful mycotoxins, capable of causing liver damage, immune suppression, and even cancer in certain people. Ochratoxin A can also be toxic in large doses and cause symptoms including diarrhea, stomach upset and inflammation of the liver.

There are various brands of mycotoxin-free coffee available. One such popular brand is Pure Ground Coffee, available online or in stores and which utilizes an innovative process called “Slow Roast” to remove mycotoxins.

Peak Performance Coffee, another organically grown and slow roasted option, sources its beans from a small family-owned farm in Peru and claims that each batch of green coffee beans imported is tested twice for mold contamination – once by green coffee bean importers and again upon receiving delivery by roasters. One unique thing I have found about Peak Performance coffee is their mycotoxin lab test results displayed publicly online so customers can see them.

Natural Force Clean Coffee is another good option, although not quite as low in mycotoxins as Purity coffee. Still, they offer delicious mold and mycotoxin-free beverages with great taste that are mold and mycotoxin free – plus their starter bundle pack includes coffee, blender and detox water!

Stored Properly

Coffee is one of the world’s favorite hot beverages, yet how it is sourced, processed, and stored can have significant ramifications on our health. When beans for our morning cup of Joe are not properly sourced and tested prior to use they may contain dangerous mycotoxins which are produced by certain mold species and may contribute to fatigue and brain fog.

Mold growth on coffee beans depends heavily on their environment of cultivation as well as handling, processing and storage conditions. Mycotoxins may develop when stored in warm environments like warehouses as mold prefers humid conditions for growth.

Heat can accelerate their demise and make them less appealing, so to best preserve them it is wise to store coffee beans in cool and dark environments like a pantry or cupboard.

Storage conditions also contribute to mycotoxin contamination; burlap sacks made of jute may harbor mold and other potential contaminants that pose greater danger.

As well as keeping coffee beans stored properly, it’s crucial that they undergo an efficient brewing process in order to reduce mycotoxin exposure – more so than in un-brewed beans. Mycotoxins tend to build up more rapidly in brewed coffee.

Therefore, to ensure your coffee is mold free and safe from mycotoxins, the best way to ensure its safety is by purchasing it from brands who conduct independent testing and have been verified as mold-free – such as Alex’s Low Acid Mold Free Coffee which has undergone independent tests that confirmed it as mold-free. Furthermore, you should consider other factors, including chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides use – following these simple tips can help ensure a delicious cup of java that won’t negatively impact your health!

Enjoy the Taste

There are numerous health advantages of drinking low acid mold free coffee. It provides essential antioxidants to fight disease, provides natural energy and even contains some essential minerals – but these benefits will quickly disappear if your coffee contains harmful mold or mycotoxins.

Now more than ever before, finding clean coffee that has been thoroughly tested for mold and mycotoxins has never been simpler. Brands such as Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee undergo independent tests and guarantee they are free from these potentially hazardous chemicals – so you can enjoy your beverage without fearing for your health!

Mold and mycotoxins are found in raw, unprocessed beans that have not been properly stored or roasted, leading to inflammation, rashes, and other health problems in coffee drinkers. If you suffer from histamine intolerance or have high acidity coffee consumption can also trigger flare ups of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome symptoms in some individuals.

When searching for low acid mold-free coffee, look for brands with multiple roasting options. Such brands utilize a unique process which ensures all toxins and mold have been eradicated from the beans; additionally they use nitrogen-sealed packaging to preserve its integrity.

Danger Coffee offers another solution, featuring an organic blend that’s mold and mycotoxin free and Direct Trade certified from Central American farmers. Medium roasted, this delicious coffee boasts smooth yet rich flavors to soothe your stomach as it contains essential trace minerals for good health.
