About Cereal grain-based coffee substitute
A cereal grain-based coffee substitute is a drink ingredient made from cereal grains and used in place of coffee. The name identifies the broad base and intended role, but not the cereal or cereal blend, roast level, processing method, or whether other ingredients are included. It may be sold as a dry preparation for brewing or mixing.
Such products can be prepared as a hot beverage and may have a roasted, grain-like flavour, though the taste, colour, and body depend on the formulation. The record does not establish a particular coffee-like intensity, caffeine content, or recipe. It should be treated as a variable grain-based beverage preparation.
