The brewing method of coffee powder the cooking method of coffee beans after grinding

Many people like to drink coffee, and some foods, such as bread, will also add coffee beans to enhance the flavor. Some people have asked on Facebook "Apple Life Octopus" that if you often eat roasted coffee beans raw and do not spit out coffee grounds, I wonder if it will be harmful to your health; doctors say that chewing coffee beans directly may take in too much caffeine, and coffee grounds can be swallowed down, and it is easy to stimulate the intestines and stomach. It is recommended not to eat coffee beans as a snack.

Yang Ruineng, director of the Department of Gastroenterology, liver and gallbladder at Xizhi Cathay Pacific Hospital, said that most people who drink coffee have side effects such as excessive excitement, palpitations and dizziness when they drink a few cups, but if they are replaced by coffee beans, eating a few of them will produce these symptoms, which may not be easy to handle, so if coffee beans are taken as a snack, the risk of discomfort caused by excessive caffeine intake will be higher than drinking coffee.

Eating coffee beans raw is not recommended.

Yang Ruineng also points out that if coffee beans are chewed into coffee grounds in the mouth without spitting out, it will cause a burden on the stomach and intestines, because coffee grounds are not easy to digest, and if they accumulate too much, they may block the intestines and cause constipation.

Kang Hongming, director of family medicine at the Shutian Clinic, said that apart from being difficult to digest, coffee dregs are more irritating, and some people who are sensitive to the stomach may not be able to bear it, but may develop diarrhea symptoms. At present, the medical community has no final conclusion on how many coffee beans can be eaten in a day, and it is recommended not to eat them raw.
