Green coffee, unlike traditional coffee, is not roasted, it is raw coffee.

The green coffee beans are dried but not roasted, this in addition to maintaining their green color allows the preservation of some nutritional principles such as B vitamins and polyphenols, which normally evaporate with heat during the processing.

Green coffee is less acidic than traditional coffee, it still contains caffeine but in a different form which is absorbed by the body over a longer period of time.

Green coffee also contains a considerable dose of chlorogenic acid which according to some nutritionists could help lose weight quickly and burn fat by counteracting the so-called "metabolic syndrome".

Green coffee can be drunk by infusion like black coffee, by grinding the dried but not roasted berries, boiling them and filtering the drink.

Or it can be taken as pills as a dietary supplement. Today there are several green coffee-based supplements on the market and not all of them are properly natural.
