☕️ How to make Nescafe from Mucuna beans.
  • 😼 Looking for a caffeine-free coffee substitute with health-boosting benefits?

    • Mucuna pruriens, also known as Velvet Bean, or Purple Jade Vine, offers a rich and satisfying alternative to traditional coffee.
  • 😼 With its natural L-Dopa content, it supports brain function, calms the mind, and nourishes the body. Paired with ingredients like chicory root, this blend not only tastes great but also promotes digestion and overall well-being.


💬 Simple guide to making your own Mucuna "Nescafe" at home
  • Prepare the Beans: Collect Mucuna beans carefully, wearing gloves to avoid contact with the irritating hairs on the pods.
  • Roast the Beans: Roast the beans until they turn dark and aromatic, similar to how coffee beans are roasted.
  • Grind the Beans: Once roasted, grind the beans into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or blender.
  • Brew: Use the ground beans just like instant coffee. Add hot water, mix, and enjoy. You can add milk or sweetener if desired.


Benefits of Mucuna Nescafe:
  • 🟡 Natural source of L-Dopa, which supports brain and nervous system health.
  • 🟡 May calm the mind, nourish tissues, and support kidney function.
  • 🟡 Aids digestion and acts as a prebiotic.
  • 🟡 A caffeine-free alternative that provides sustained energy and balance.
