The coffee bean used to make coffee grows inside a red fruit known as coffee berry. Traditional coffee production does not use the berry because, as any other fruit, it's perishable and requires more effort to process than just using the coffee bean. However, the coffee berry has come into the spotlight because it actually contains nutrients that are lost when only the bean inside is used. By drinking coffee berry instead of traditional bean coffee, you are getting the taste of coffee with lots of added nutrition

The benefits of Coffeeberry are

• Cuts Diabetes Risk : According to a 2005 article in "Life Extension Magazine," the coffee berry can help with blood glucose management. The coffee berry contains glucose-6-phosphatase, an enzyme that reduces blood sugar levels and slows down the reaction of glycogen. Coffee consumption in general might reduce the risk of diabetes. Because the coffee berry contains all caffeic acids and other phytochemicals lost during the production of standard bean coffee, the benefits are even higher.
• Provides Antioxidants : In an article for The Dermatology Blog, Dr. Jeffrey Benabio explains that coffee berries are rich in antioxidants. In fact, they contain more antioxidants than blueberries, raspberries or pomegranates. Antioxidants can help protect your skin against free radicals that cause aging symptoms, as well as heart disease and inflammatory skin problems.
• Protects Against Other Chronic Diseases : Coffee berries are high in plant polyphenols, which may help lower your chances of developing Alzheimer's, heart disease and asthma, according to Dr. Benabio. According to a 2006 study published in "Diabetes," the official journal of the American Diabetes Association, polyphenols can also help lower your cholesterol and inhibit accelerated atherosclerosis.
• The phenolic acids also called polyphenols found in Coffeeberry helps to neutralize toxic free radicals, protects against systemic oxidative stress and reduces the incidence of oxidative pathologies such as coronary heart disease inflammation.
