Cultivation techniques of Coffee 5

There are many legends about the discovery of coffee. There is a legend that in the 13th century, there was a king in Ethiopia.

Son, he found that his camel loved to eat a small oar fruit on a bush, and he was very excited and energetic after eating it, so he also picked some small berries to taste, and finally found this refreshing coffee drink. Another legend is that one day in 500 BC, an Ethiopian shepherd herded his sheep to a strange place for grazing. On a small hill, the sheep ate a kind of small red fruit on a small tree. after returning in the evening, the sheep were unusual in the fence, not as peaceful and docile as usual, but excited, restless, tearing and shouting, and even jumping all night long. The owner thought that the sheep had been poisoned by eating some grass and got up several times to take a closer look at the lights, but they saw the sheep in high spirits and alive. It doesn't look like poisoning pain. The next morning, the shepherd was ready to drive the sheep to another place for grazing. After opening the fence, the sheep ran desperately to the mountain with little red fruit. No matter how the shepherd whipped to stop it, when the shepherd was exhausted, he had to follow the sheep to the hill. The shepherd was very surprised to see each sheep scrambling to eat the little red fruit, so he picked some small red fruit and chewed it over and over again and found that the little red fruit was sweet with some bitterness.

When he came back, the shepherd felt so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He even wanted to dance with the hands of the sheep and dance with his feet. The magic of the little red fruit spread quickly, and the shepherds of Ethiopia picked and chewed the little red fruit everywhere and sold it on the market. Later, this little red fruit developed into the most popular coffee drink in the world today.

Coffee fruit contains two seeds, namely coffee beans. The two beans are connected face to face with each other on one side of the plane. Each coffee bean has a thin outer film, which is called silver skin, and its outer layer is covered with a yellow outer skin, called endocarp. The whole coffee bean is wrapped in a sticky pulp to form the coffee pulp, which is soft and sweet, with the outer shell.
