Why doesn’t this exist?
Take dried beans, roast 'em, grind 'em, and brew some bean juice?
I have no idea if it would taste good or not, but we don’t know if we don’t try.
Edit: I need to see what dried beans I have and maybe go shopping. I will give this a try with a couple different types of beans and report back if I fart or not.
My elderly relative in Germany used to drink Caro? Carro? coffee. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caro_(drink) Barely, Rye, and Chicory. Chicory, if I recall correctly is still in various things, including Fiber Snack Bars. I had to look it up since I didn’t know what it was and wanted to know if it was bad for me in some way. Turns out, as usual, I should be more concerned about the copious amounts of sugar.
You can actually buy chicory coffee. I used it for a while as a coffee replacement.
Yeah. It’s very popular in Poland among old people. It reminds them their childhood
Username checks out
I didn’t know it is also used in Poland, here in Germany it’s mostly unheard of; other than by a few weirdos like myself.
In Poland it was popular as a breakfast drink for children in the 1980/1990s when I was a kiddo
No it isn’t. Especially Caro Kaffee is a quite well known brand you can buy in every random supermarket.
I guess many GenZ kids wouldn’t know it, but everyone who had a grandparent that lived through the food sparse years after the war would.
I’m 34 and the only one I’d say, that would know much about it
It was common in France until my dad’s childhood, in the 60s. There were commercials for Ricoré (half coffee, half chickory) in the 80s. AFAIK, you can still buy it in all supermarkets.
Chicory coffee is still available in US, it has a history in New Orleans as well.
