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.
Maybe after imperialism / colonialism re: tea and tobacco, folks were less inclined? Or they kept it on the DL.
Less inclined to what, experiment with food? Sounds unlikely to me.
