Green coffee beans are the raw, unroasted seeds of the Coffea plant. They are typically light green in color and have a firm texture. These beans contain higher levels of chlorogenic acid, which is believed to have various health benefits, including antioxidant properties. Before roasting, green coffee beans have a mild, grassy flavor and are often used in dietary supplements. They are popular among those looking to reduce caffeine intake while still enjoying the potential benefits of coffee. Once roasted, the beans develop the rich flavors and aromas associated with brewed coffee.
