Want a cup of joe without damaging the environment? Then consider "beanless coffee," which uses ingredients like date seeds and chickpeas to make it happen, Grist reports.
"Coffee is a ritual and it's a result.
And that's what we're replicating," says Andy Kleitsch, CEO of Atomo, which is developing beanless coffee with ingredients like chicory, dandelion roots, or other plant-based sources.
"These substitutes not only offer a more environmentally friendly option but also diversify agricultural practices, potentially mitigating the risks associated with monoculture farming," says Grist.
