Kick the coffee bean and go with the grain!

Inka and Pero make great grain coffees with all natural ingredients and macro sweeteners such as Barley Malt.  

Why is caffeine bad for you?

Because caffeine overstimulates the adrenal glands and the heart, macrobiotics says that eliminating it from your diet is best to help balance your emotional and physical well being.  It has also been tied to mineral loss, breast cysts, gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular stress, and nutritional deficiencies.  Although non caffeinated coffee may be better for you it is usually processed with chemicals and other unwanted additives.

What is grain coffee?

Teeccino is the most popular with a variety of flavors like vanilla hazelnut and mocha.   Although it is less macro because it contains carob,  dates and nuts, I definitely recommend this to those just weaning off coffee because it tastes amazing!  Also comes in travel tea bag ;)

Grain coffee is a ground up mixture of roasted whole grains that provides a nourishing alternative to regular or decaffeinated coffee.  A variety of grain coffees are available in natural food stores (look in the coffee or tea section).  Those made with 100% cereal grains, wild grasses beans, and other vegetable-quality ingredients and containing no honey, molasses, or other strong sweeteners and fruit powders are suitable for occasional consumption and a great dessert alternative.

How do you prepare grain coffee?

Because Inka and Pero grain coffee is instant, all you need to do is add 1 heaping tsp in water and mix well.  Teeccino on the otherhand should be treated like brewed coffee.  Use drip coffee makers, french press, or get even more creative with an espresso maker.  

Grain coffee is a great treat and really helps beat the coffee addiction, it did for my dad! He loves to make the Teeccino mocha flavor with almond milk froth on top.  You'll find that drinking grain coffee is so much more relaxing for your mind and body.
