Coffeeberry is a product made from the fruit of the coffee plant, which is traditionally thrown away due to quick spoilage. It is marketed as having health benefits and is available in powder or liquid extract forms with a mild flavor.
The coffee plant consists of a bush with small red fruits. Historically, most coffee products have been made from the beans inside the coffee fruit, but not the fruit itself because it spoiled very quickly and could not be preserved effectively. Coffeeberry is a product made primarily from the fruit of the coffee plant after manufacturers discovered a way to prevent the fruit from spoiling.
When the coffee plant is harvested to make products, traditionally the beans are extracted from the red fruit on the bush. The beans are then roasted and sold whole or ground into a powder to be used to make coffee beverages or coffee-flavored products. Once the beans are processed, the fruit is traditionally thrown away as it would perish too quickly to be processed safely. The makers behind Coffeeberry found a way to process the coffee fruit without spoiling it; However, the exact process is a trade secret.
The makers of the Coffeeberry product tout it as having various health benefits. They claim that the fruit of the coffee bush contains more nutrients than the beans, which they believe lose most of their nutrients during the roasting process. Manufacturers endorse the product as a good source of phenolic acids, compounds found in plants that are believed to prevent a variety of diseases, including heart disease, cancer, or stroke. They also claim that the product can help treat diabetes, anxiety, and depression, and can act as an anti-inflammatory.
Coffeeberry products are generally available in two main forms: powder or a liquid extract. The powder can be mixed with most liquids, such as water, tea, coffee, or alcohol, and simply consumed as a beverage. It can also be added to baked goods recipes, such as granola bars or muffins. The liquid extract version of the product tends to be used more often for commercial nutritional supplements and can be packaged in a capsule or mixed with water and taken orally. The extract can also be added to anti-aging skin care products and applied topically as a way to prevent wrinkles and dry skin associated with aging.
Coffeeberry flavor tends to be mild. The manufacturers of the product market it with a light flavor that will not compete with other flavors, allowing it to be added to recipes or drinks without drastically changing the final taste of the dish. It is also touted as being able to be easily consumed on its own without having an unpleasant taste.
