Answer: Coffee beans are not actually beans, but the seeds of a low-lying shrub which produces a cherry-like fruit. Ideally, these bright red fruits are picked at maximum ripeness and processed to remove the coffee beans from the unusable flesh and skin. The coffee beans are inspected for disease or immaturity, then bagged for future processing. Eventually coffee beans are allowed to dry, but are still raw and green. When these green beans are sold to wholesalers, they are graded and roasted before being shipped to overseas markets.
