Coffee Flour?
Posted on: 2016-11-17 9:58 AM
Coffee Flour is both a brand and an agricultural innovation with the potential to do some really great things for the world. And we don’t just mean the food world.
Each year the billions of coffee beans that eventually make their way into the Americanos, lattes, and no-foam, extra-hot, triple-shot cappuccinos of the world are harvested by milling and extracting them from the coffee plant. The surrounding fruit, is discarded. It often gets dumped into rivers or left to rot in heaps. So CF invented something better to do with it. Something that’s better for everyone.
For farmers and families in coffee growing countries, it will create sustainable jobs and a new revenue source for some of the poorest areas of the world. For the environment, it will remove botanical waste from streams and soil, strengthening the land and lives of the people and species there. And for the rest of us, it will add a nutritious and distinctly flavorful ingredient to the global menu.
CF clearly has a passion for coffee, and for the people, and communities who grow it. So finding a use for that discarded fruit became their purpose. They pioneered a process that converts this coffee byproduct into a nutrient-dense new super-ingredient they call Coffee Flour™ .
What they’re most proud of is that they’ve structured our business model so that the positive social, environmental, and economic impacts will be shared by all.
