Qianjie-Coffee male and female beans introduction

Are coffee beans divided into male and female?

First of all, we have heard that the flowers of plants have pistils and stamens, while coffee beans, as the seeds of coffee trees, are unlikely to be male and female. So is there a difference between male and female coffee trees? The answer is no.

Coffee flowers belong to the Rubiaceae family, and each flower has both male and female organs. Since it is hermaphroditic, there is no difference between male and female trees. Naturally, there should be no difference between male and female beans.

The correct statement should be flat bean Flat Beans and round bean Peaberry. When the fresh coffee fruit is picked, peeling off the peel, you can see two semicircular beans that are flat and close to each other. We turn this shape of beans into Flat Beans. But there are also a few cases in which the internal seed does not split, thus showing a complete oval grain of a round bean Peaberry, which is just its common name in Chinese.

Why is there a difference between flat beans and round beans?

About 3-5% of the fruit of a coffee tree is small round beans, and the yield of round beans is about 50% of that of flat beans, which generally grows in the fruit at the tip of coffee branches and is most likely to give birth to round beans. In addition, if you encounter drought and lack of rain, malnutrition, blossom too early or too late, or encounter diseases and insect pests in the growth process, it will lead to unsound internal development of coffee fruit, because of natural selection, it is very likely that one bean "eats" another bean, and the strong one grows into a round bean.

Is the male bean good or the mother bean good?

Coffee lovers have their own understanding of the flavor of round beans: some people think that because round beans combine the essence of two beans in the growth process, the flavor of round beans will be richer and more prominent than flat beans, with a stronger aroma. It is also believed that round beans grown at the ends of coffee trees receive more light and calories, and these nutrients are exclusive, and such beans are naturally better in flavor than ordinary beans grown in the same tree. There is also a saying that round beans are plump and round and are easier to tumble than flat beans when baking, which helps to improve the uniformity of baking.
