Figure out how to distinguish between coffee beans and soybeans.

Before we talk about the mystery of the sex of male beans and female beans, let's first know a few things. First of all, the coffee tree itself is not divided into male and female trees. In fact, coffee flower is a plant with both male and female organs, belonging to the family Rubiaceae. The coffee bean itself is the core seed of the coffee fruit before it is roasted. It can grow on its own when it falls into the soil, even if only one tree can grow the coffee fruit. Since it is hermaphroditic, there is no difference between male and female trees, and naturally there should be no difference between male and female beans. Furthermore, the original English word of "Gongdou" is "Peaberry" or the abbreviation "PB", but it is not called "Male Beans". The word "Gongdou" is just a common name in Chinese. in fact, he has another name, "Yuandou".

Raw bean VS flat bean

Public beans (round beans) are classified as defective beans in botanical theory for several reasons: one is that coffee beans suffer from diseases and insect pests before bearing fruit, or it may be caused by coffee trees suffering from prolonged drought or malnutrition. In addition, coffee beans at the ends of branches also have a higher chance of forming round beans, which may be due to poor growth due to more opportunities to be exposed. When the normal form of coffee fruit is peeled, there are two coffee nuts (seeds) inside, called "Type-1". This is the most normal form of coffee beans, that is, the mother beans or flat beans in the theory of male and female beans. The other is the elliptical shape of "Type-2", which has only one seed, which is what we call round beans. In fact, there is only a difference in growth form between the two, not a gender distinction. The common name in Chinese is indeed easy to be misunderstood.

Some coffee lovers think that Peaberry beans have a better mellow thickness and charming aroma, and taste sweeter. In addition, because its output is relatively scarce, Peaberry has become a commercial means to be bid up and sold at a high price, but in fact, Peaberry beans are sometimes discarded because they are regarded as defective beans in some producing areas. To them, Peaberry has no commercial value to speak of.
