5 things you didn't know about: COFFEE
- The part of the plant that is roasted and ground to make your morning (or afternoon, or evening, or snacktime) cup is actually a seed. It is the pit of a red fruit called a coffee cherry.
- Early African tribes would mix the coffee fruit and seeds with animal fat to make a sort of energy snack.
- The world’s most expensive coffee is a type called kopi luwak. Which is harvested after being digested and excreted by the Asian palm civet, a small catlike mammal.
- The world’s first webcam was created to keep tabs on a pot of coffee.
- Coffee is the second most traded commodity on Earth. So what’s the first? Oil.
