coffee cherries

Unprocessed bean source

Coffee cherries are the fruit of the coffee plant, small and typically red when ripe, each containing two seeds—the coffee beans.

The flesh is sweet and edible, though most commercial value lies in the beans inside.

Workers pick the coffee cherries by hand during harvest season.
