Question

Which of these outcomes is an advantage of shade-grown coffee beans?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Shade-grown coffee trees produce more coffee beans per plant

Explanation:

Majority of coffee varieties are not able to tolerate direct sunlight. They grow better under the canopy of sun-filtering shade trees. The canopy of shady trees protects the coffee from the direct sun. Further, shade-grown coffee does not require chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In the shade, the coffee beans mature more slowly. Thus, shade-grown coffee produces more beans. By slow growth, the natural sugars and flavour of the coffee get increased or enhanced. This coffee provides biodiversity and home for birds.
