Eating Coffee Beans: It Really Is That Healthy

Eat coffee beans: That’s why it’s healthy

• Coffee beans contain many vitamins, including vitamins B2, B3, B5, and B6. However, this only applies to raw coffee beans, because almost all vitamins are lost during roasting. So if you want to eat particularly healthy coffee beans, you have to eat them raw.
• On the other hand, the aroma of the coffee bean comes into its own when it is roasted. Therefore, all coffee beans that have been roasted beforehand are suitable for consumption.
• However, be careful not to eat too many coffee beans: they contain just as much caffeine as coffee, but the stimulating effect only occurs after half an hour at the earliest.
