Coffee Cherry

As you may or may not know, coffee actually comes from a fruit.  The part you use to make coffee is really just the pit in the middle of this fruit.  So the folks at Serious Eats wondered what the fruit tastes like.  I have a similar wonder about cocoa.  The part that makes chocolate is also just the pit in the middle of a large fruit.  I've been told that the cocoa fruit has a slight chocolate taste, but I want to know for myself.  One day it will happen.

For now you can read all about the fruit from a coffee bean.
