 |
|
I just picked up a pot of coffee plants from Wal-Mart yesterday, they
were sitting in a plastic container 1/3 full with water. I took them out
to let the roots dry out and am going to replant each one in it's own
pot, there's 6. I'm not too familiar with growing them as a house plant,
any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Not even in a greenhouse? Oh well. I just reminded myself in the
dandelion post that the roots make a good coffee substitute(I've
actually tried it), and I know those can grow pretty much anywhere in
the continental US. :-)
Chickory root is supposed to be a good coffee substitute but I've never
tried it.
Not a substitute, an additive to make coffee go longer.

Not a substitute, an additive to make coffee go longer. After our
first time in New Orleans many years ago, we now exclusively drink
Cafe du Monde ground coffee with chickory. Talk about your thick
coffee! It tastes like it is much stronger than it actually is. I've
been looking all over for expresso to no avail. Maybe my mom can mail
us some from New York. Down here in the hinterlands they don't sell
expresso in the grocery. |

Coffee doesn't grow in Europe. During WW2, supplies of exotic
non-essential imports such as coffee, became very scarce. Chicory, and
dandelion root, were commonly used as a cheap and locally available
coffee substitute.
