Exciting New Kona Coffee Fruit Product Has Great Health Benefits
For nearly a century Kona coffee farmers have been processing the precious Kona coffee beans without any regard to the fleshy fruit around the bean which is normally discarded. Now KonaRedTM Coffee Fruit is packaging the fruit itself which they claim is an antioxidant-rich “super food.”
Antioxidants are said to combat free radical damage which is a primary cause of aging and disease. The antioxidants also help build a stronger immune system and give you more energy.
The coffee pulp for Kona Red is supplied by, among others, Greenwell Farms, a certified organic Kona coffee farm in Kealakekua and produced by Sandwich Isles Trading Company which is a joint venture between Malie, Inc. on Kauai and Bioponic Phytoceuticals on Maui.
About fifteen pounds of Kona coffee cherry are required to make about one pound of extract that is mixed with other ingredients including Maui sugar and cinnamon hydrosol extract. The final product is also high in polyphenols that are known for their ability to neutralize free radicals.
Four varieties of Kona Red are produced including a whole powder, a freeze-dried powder, a mesh powder and a liquid concentrate. An anti-aging skincare product using Kona coffee cherry is also being marketed by Maile Organics.
