Acoffee bean is a seed of the coffee plant, and isthe source for coffee. It is the pit inside the red or purple fruit oftenreferred to as a cherry. Even though they are seeds, they are incorrectlyreferred to as 'beans' because of their resemblance to true beans. The fruits -coffee cherries or coffee berries - most commonly contain two stones with theirflat sides together. A small percentage of cherries contain a single seed,instead of the usual two. This is called a peaberry. Like Brazil nuts (a seed)and white rice, coffee seeds consist mostly of endosperm.
