]]>So, which countries do we have to thank for our daily cup of joe? Here are the world’s top-producing coffee exporters on an annual basis.
Brazil, which is South America’s largest country, is the world’s leading producer of coffee. In fact, over a third of the world’s coffee is grown and harvested here! Most of it is grown in the inland southeast region of the country.
Asia’s leading coffee producer is this Southeast Asian country that churns out massive quantities of the coffee bean. Vietnamese coffee is generally of the more bitter and less acidic robusta variety, differentiating it from the Arabica beans that dominate worldwide.
Colombia comes in third place in the ranking and is known for producing some of the world’s best coffee beans. The Eje Cafetero, which is located in the lower altitudes of the Andes Mountain range, is the center of production.
Rounding out the top four is Indonesia, a country that produces one of the most expensive and unique coffee varieties in the world. Kopi Luwak coffee, a bean that is collected after being eaten by civets and defecated, is one of the world’s most famous beans.

]]>Jenipapo has been around for centuries. In the past, tribes used this fruit to get body paint and believed it had some magical properties. Science has confirmed that jenipapo berries contain genipin, a substance that helps them release an edible blue pigment under certain conditions that are completely safe to eat.
The process of extracting blue pigment from jenipapo has been described in professor and biologist Valdely Kinupp’s 2014 book Unconventional Food Plants in Brazil, after which many chefs started using it. “The jenipapo gained a fashionable status with the publication of the book,” Atlas Obscura quoted Kinupp. “Before that, hardly anyone talked about the fruit in the dining scene. It has become a trend, with blue bread, blue milk, blue pudding, and a multitude of bluish recipes.”
Today, you can get blue bread, soups, and salads all around Brazil.
