Can I drink green coffee?
First let's see what green coffee is and where it came from. We are all accustomed to a black, aromatic and tasty drink, so many are convinced that green coffee is another plant, or a special kind. In fact, green grains are grains that have not been fried. It is because of the roasting that coffee acquires a familiar smell and shade, and in its natural dried form it is pale beige-green with a herbaceous odor.
It's no secret that heat treatment often has a disastrous effect on the medicinal properties of products. This is true for coffee. In the course of roasting, the amount of chlorogenic acid that reduces the process of splitting of fatty tissues is reduced, and the amount of caffeine that is not very useful for the organism in large doses increases.
Based on this, we can say that you can consume green coffee, and this is even more useful than its black version. Not everyone will appreciate the taste and smell of green coffee, but if you add cinnamon or ginger to it , the taste can be improved somewhat.
