How to Make Organic Coffee
On their way out the door each day, many people turn to coffee as their go-to breakfast drink. Though not an ideal healthy choice, coffee does give us that boost we need to get through our day. When made from organic ingredients, drinking this type of coffee gives the world some extra love – not to mention all its other advantages that may go unseen by you.
For products to be labeled organic, the USDA seal must appear on their package and they must have been grown and processed without using synthetic chemicals – including pesticides, herbicides and fungicides – such as chemical fertilizers. Instead, organic farmers employ natural means of encouraging growth such as using coffee pulp, manure or compost as growth stimulants.
As a result of these practices, the soil and water used for coffee cultivation has become healthier and nutrient richer, benefiting both wildlife and environment alike. Furthermore, shade provided by coffee plant canopies helps prevent soil erosion and depletion of essential minerals – providing hugely important protection to both.
Organic coffee beans are better for both our planet and for farmers who grow them, offering premium payments that help improve family lives and working conditions on farms that specialize in organic production than those who don’t.
Though life can sometimes seem intimidating and daunting, remembering to drink organic coffee can have a powerful impact. Starting in your own home, this choice can make a real difference and help transform our planet for good.
