Coffee Alternative Made with Figs Makes a Great Gift this Holiday Season! #REVIEW #MBPHGG21

I love coffee but it doesn't always love my stomach! Figgee ground roasted figs is a coffee alternative that is healthy, organic, naturally vegan, gluten-free, and loaded with vitamins, magnesium, potassium, iron, and copper. They are also alkaline and offset coffee’s acid, making it easier on my stomach!

After reading an article about how the British used to add roasted fig to coffee during World War II to make it last longer, FigBrew’s founder started to experiment with different figs and different roasting and grinding profiles. He was blown away by how well-roasted the fig is in its pure form. Figs are part of a Mediterranean diet and are high in fiber, vitamins, and other nutrients.

Figgee can be enjoyed alone as a caffeine-free coffee alternative. It is mellow and full of flavor with healthy vitamins and minerals. It can also be added to your favorite coffee to add its health benefits while balancing out the harshness or bitterness. Figs are rich in soluble fiber, natural sugars, and minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper and are a good source of antioxidant vitamins A and K that contribute to health and wellness. My husband and I enjoyed its rich, smooth, sweet, and tangy flavor.

Roasted fig, when brewed, has a smooth taste somewhere between coffee and tea. It looks very similar to ground coffee and can be brewed using any method used in making coffee or tea – apart from espresso. It’s about twice as strong as coffee, so a Figgee customer should use about half of what they typically would use in any brewing technique.

There is no reason that you can’t mix with your own coffee to reduce caffeine consumption or make it easier on the stomach. We find that a 1:1 ratio of roasted fig-to-coffee preserves the flavor of the coffee but introduces the best that roasted fig has to offer. If you’d rather not have to worry about mixing, FigBrew also offers their Mellow Mix which is a pre-mixed fig/coffee blend developed over time to give a smooth tasty hot beverage.
