Al G. is a Fun Guy

Fungus and microbes are responsible for providing us with food, such as mushrooms and yogurt, as well as the subtle flavours that make other food like wines and cheeses so diverse and enjoyable. The complex interplay of various sugars and organisms creates the chemicals that tingle our taste buds. Now it appears that fungus can also play a role in the taste of coffee beans. Researchers are underway with the process of taming these creatures to help craft new types of exotic coffee flavours.
