Did You Know

 Did you know, coffee beans aren't beans at all but seeds found in coffee cherries that grow on coffee trees?

I did. Himself's mama had a coffee tree.

I did not. But 'coffee cherries' is conjuring flavours of chocolate in my head. To be fair, most things conjure chocolate for me so it's not a surprise.

Since caffeine is my drug o f choice I actually knew from where my true addiction came!

Andrew said...

It isn't something I've learnt or knew but if asked I would be quick to reply that they are not beans. I wonder why they are referred to as beans.

Elizabeth Seckman said...

I knew they grew on a bush, but never really thought about them not being a bean.

Sandra Cox said...

Janie, Who'd a thought. Right?
Christine, Glad you think so:)
Annika, Right there with ya on not knowing.
Birgit, Sure wish Bourdain was still with us.
Val, I didn't either. Hugs
