Green coffee bean extracts are all the rage thanks to popular television talk shows and legions of satisfied users. While such extracts are a great advancement, they all have their foundation in the simple, unroasted green coffee bean which has been nourishing and energizing humans and animals for centuries. In fact, legend has it that coffee was discovered by a goat herder who noticed that his flock was so energized after nibbling the bean-containing berries of the coffee bush that they didn't want to sleep at night! Swanson Full Spectrum Green Coffee Bean delivers pure whole green coffee powder.
