Coffee Food Waste Now Improving Chocolate
- The leftover cherry fruits of the coffee plant used to go in the trash but they’re now being turned into coffee flour
- The fruits start to decay quickly after they’re picked from the beans, so until now have been creating piles of rotting pulp no good for anything but worms
- Dan Belliveau’s startup CoffeeFlour turns these cherries into a gluten free flour which can be used in recipes for cookies, pasta, and other foods—but most importantly it adds interesting flavors to chocolate bars 🙂
