Qianjie-Coffee beans introduction

In the process of coffee fruit development, the seeds inside (that is, coffee beans) split into 2, plane inside, arc outside, this kind of coffee bean is called "flat bean", is also the most common form, for the mother bean. The poorly developed seed does not split and grows alone in the shell. It is a complete oval, called "round bean", and is considered to be a male bean.

The English name of Pingdou is Flat Bean, and that of Yuandou is Pea-berry, which seems to have nothing to do with the name of male and female.

Coffee flower is a plant with both male and female organs, which belongs to Rubiaceae. The coffee bean itself is the core seed of the coffee fruit before it is roasted. It can grow on its own after falling into the soil, even if only one tree can grow the coffee fruit.

So the distinction between male and female is pure fantasy.

There are about three reasons for the formation of public beans:

1. Growing at the tip of a coffee branch may lead to the emergence of male beans in the coffee fruit.

two。 Due to the competition for survival and the capture of nutrients, one bean "eats" another bean and gives birth to a male bean.

3. The coffee fruit suffers from diseases and insect pests during its growth, which leads to the imperfect internal development of the coffee fruit and gives birth to the male bean.

There are only about 5% Mur10% of the public beans on a coffee tree. Shrewd businessmen pick them out and sell them separately, so they can sell them at a higher price because they are scarce.

Is that the taste of public beans better?

With its round figure, beans are easier to tumble and heat evenly when baked, so most people think the flavor of baked beans is better.

In fact, the coffee we usually drink is a mixture of soybeans and soybeans. Moreover, the embodiment of coffee flavor will be different due to the influence of picking time, treatment, baking and other factors. In a word, what suits you is the best.

Knowledge: coffee flower ovary has two ovules, because it is self-pollination, so the pollination rate is very high, usually two ovules will be pollinated successfully, and developed into a coffee berry with two seeds (flat beans)
