Coffee is a favourite for many!
Coffee is a tasty drink that many people love. You can find it in different types like espresso and cappuccino.
Coffee has something called caffeine that gives grown-ups an energy boost. It also has cool things called antioxidants that help keep you healthy. Drinking coffee might even help prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
However, it’s not good for children. Coffee has many side effects, especially for growing kids and teens.
But do you know how coffee is made? It starts with coffee beans that grow on tall, bushy plants. These plants have cherries, and inside the cherries are the coffee beans!
The beans are roasted and then ground into a powder. This powder is used to make the yummy coffee we drink.
Beanless coffee.
Guess what? A start-up called Atomo makes coffee without using coffee beans! Instead, they use date seeds, sunflower extract, and pea protein to make coffee.
They turn date seeds into powder, mix in secret ingredients, and roast them to create yummy flavours and aromas. They even get caffeine from green tea to give the drinker energy!
Their special coffee tastes just like the real thing. How cool is that?
Benefits of beanless coffee production.
Coffee production can cause deforestation as forests are cut down for coffee plantations. But beanless coffee can help! It uses cool new ingredients that don’t need big farms, so fewer trees are cut down.
As more people want coffee, it can get pricey. Beanless coffee can be cheaper, saving money. Making coffee also uses lots of water and releases carbon emissions. Beanless coffee helps reduce both, which is awesome for our planet.
