About the recent sale of fake coffee seeds on the Internet.
Recently, a student asked us that he had bought some coffee seeds on the Internet, showed us the pictures and asked if they were coffee seeds. It doesn't matter if I don't see it. I'm scared when I look at it. Where is the coffee seed? it is clearly a kind of Chinese herbal medicine called Cassia seed.
"Cassia seed is the dry mature seed of Cassia or Cassia, an annual herb of Leguminosae. Cassia seed is also called Cassia Ming, Yangming, sheep horn, horseshoe cassia, pupil, dog shit bean, fake mung bean, horseshoe, Qianliguang, celery, crow bean, wild green bean, pig bone bright, pig shit blue bean, fine leaf pig shit bean, night pull son, sheep tail bean. Bitter taste, sweet and cool, with the functions of clearing liver fire, dispelling rheumatism, tonifying kidney and eyesight, etc. " (from Baidu encyclopedia)
Obviously, cassia seed is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine and herb, which has nothing to do with the coffee tree which is a woody plant.
It is also said that cassia seed is actually the raw material of herbal coffee. Then the definition of herbal coffee is involved here. What is herbal coffee?
"Herbal coffee used to be a wild plant of the subfamily Rutaceae, which has been growing under woody coffee trees in Brazil for many years. In China, as early as 1400 years ago, Zen Master Sui Chao thick used its fruit to make" strengthening tea "and presented it to the Sui emperor as a palace tribute, which became a secret recipe of the court and then was lost." (from Sosou Encyclopedia) in other words, herbal coffee only borrows the name of coffee, but it is not coffee, and the raw materials for making herbal coffee are mostly cassia seeds on the market. Cassia seed is a bit muddy after being roasted. Mugi-cha often adds it, but it is 108000 li different from the unique flavor of coffee itself.
But then again, the medicinal effect of cassia seed is still good, and for some office workers who have been sitting in front of the computer for a long time, it should be recommended as an herbal tea with the effect of clearing heat and clear eyes, moistening the intestines and defecating.
Finally, we use a few pictures to make a clearer distinction between Cassia seed and coffee seed, and don't be deceived again.
This is Cassia.
This is the coffee seed.
