Coffee beans are also male and female?

In the plant world, some species are male and female. Some are "male and female flowers", which need to be pollinated before the female flowers bear fruit and grow seeds, such as melons and fruits. Some are "male and female plants", and the male plants will not blossom and bear fruit, such as papaya and willow.

Coffee is a plant of Rubiaceae, which can be "self-pollinated". The same flower has pistils and stamens and can pollinate on its own, so the chance of pollination is very high. A cup of coffee fruit contains two ovules, and two ovules are usually pollinated successfully. in the stage of development, they will become the seeds of coffee fruit and grow into the fruit of two seeds. It is common to see half-flat and half-grain beans, which are called "mother beans".

Only a very small number of coffee fruits are pollinated by only one ovule and develop into a single-shaped pea, so they are called "single beans", "green beans" and "pill beans". Generally speaking, peas in the shape of beans are called peaberry.

"male beans" and "mother beans" are only different in the shape of their growth, and they are not really different in sex, so it is easy to form a guide by using male and female names to call kinds of beans in Chinese.

Some coffee lovers think that the taste of peaberry is more mellow and fragrant, while the sweetness is more sweet. The corresponding output is relatively scarce, on the contrary, there are more consumers chasing after each other, taste in the product, and enjoy the beauty of this natural future.
