COFFEE is a tropical shrub that yields fruits or cherries which are processed so as to
free the seeds or "beans" from the fruit pulp and then from the mucilage and silver
skin covering the beans. Coffee with the mucilage and skin retained is called
parchment coffee.
By weight, the fresh cherries consist of 45-55 percent pulp, mucilage and skin, and
45-55 percent beans. The clean beand are called "green coffee" or "clean coffee" and
this is considered to be a primary crop. Coffee contains caffeine, an alkaloid. Coffee is
a stimulant, not a food crop.
COCOA is a rain-forest tree that is cultivated for its beans. The beand are contained
in ovoid pods that grow directly on the trunk and on major branches. The beand and
the white mucilage or pulp that surrounds them represent about one-third of the total
weight of the pods. The fermented and dried beand are considered to be a primary
crop from which various processed products are derived, including roasted beand (still
in the shell) and nibs, or fragments of roasted, shelled and crushed beans. The nibs are
ground to give cocoa mass, from which cocoa fat or butter is extracted by pressing.
Pods, shells, pulp and cake have only limited use as an animal feed owing to their
high alkaloid content.
Cocoa beand contain carbohydrates, protein and particularly fat, making them a food
crop as well as a stimulant.
TEA is a shrub of the Camellia family that is cultivated for its tender leaves. The two
main varieties are assamica and sinensis. The primary crop consists of the tender
leaves, which may be withered, rolled, fermented and dried (black tea). Green tea is
black tea that is not fermented. Tea is a stimulant, not a food crop.
