The straight whole coffee beans. 🤣
Ngl I've munched coffee beans before. There's chocolate covered whole coffee beans, so why not eat them without the chocolate too?
Because without the chocolate, it's like eating slightly burnt coffee flavoured sand. I eat them all the time because I have a fucking problem, but I don't enjoy it.
Is there a name for this problem? I'm imagining you sitting with a bowl of beans looking miserable, shaking your head and muttering, "damn beans"
End stage caffeine addiction. A terrible illness
4th stage is where it’s at
Genetic fast metaboliser of caffeine. Need more caffeine to have an effect and more prone to addiction. I decided once to drink espresso until I got the shakes. I needed 12 shots.
Eating beans seems terribly inefficient though. Eating the 30g of beans in a cup of coffee or a shot of espresso for example would be quite the snack. Water extraction of caffeine is highly efficient so you aren't leaving a lot behind from coffee / espresso either.
Have you tried Guarana pills or slow release caffeine pills? No data, but I've found Guarana to be a less jolty longer lasting than most forms of caffeine
To be clear, I'm eating them along side a quad espresso, not instead of it. Pretty sure guarana pils aren't available where I live, and the only caffeine pills available are weak and expensive.
I think you can eat the seeds and it is apparently possible to home grow guauranna (I doubt that it's particularly easy to grow though). Keep it away from pets.
I doubt it's particularly easy to grow here at any rate. It's just after midnight and the sun is shining.
Anemia, pica
I eat them all the time because I have a fucking problem, but I don't enjoy it.
Aah, like salmiakki (salty licorice). Tastes terrible, but I just can't stop eating them.
Salmiakki has nothing to do with liquorice. It's ammonium chloride, just another example of Scandinavians using floor cleaner as a flavour enhancer.
It's often used as the name for ammonium chloride on black licorice. The ammonium chloride also makes a great soldering iron tip cleaner!
Ok you're correct, I just checked the ingredients list for ifa and it does in fact contain 2,5 %. Liquorice extract.
