Coffee beans are the seeds of fruits that resemble cherries, with a red skin (the exocarp) when ripe. Beneath the pulp (the mesocarp), each surrounded by a parchment-like covering (the endocarp), lie two beans, flat sides together. When the fruit is ripe a thin, slimy layer of mucilage surrounds the parchment. Underneath the parchment the beans are covered in another thinner membrane, the silver skin (the seed coat). Each cherry generally contains two coffee beans; if there is only one it assumes a rounder shape and is known as a peaberry.
Uses
A hot cuppa coffee can be the perfect solution to all your tiredness and exhaustion. It can help you get the much-required energy, after a hard day at work, and can refresh you for that late night party.
