Green coffee beans are basically raw and unroasted coffee seeds (beans) of Coffee fruits. It is observed that the roasting process of coffee beans actually reduces the amount of the chemical chlorogenic acid. Since the beans are unroasted, so they have a higher level of chlorogenic acid as compared to the regular coffee beans. Now, what is this Chlorogenic acid? So, this actually has health benefits.
Now, it has become quite popular when it comes to weight loss. It is actually believed that it burns fat pretty fast.
