About this listen

In this episode, we meet with Dr. Dirk Lachenmeier, head of the department of plant-based foods at CVUA Karlsruhe and expert in coffee, weed, and booze. We discuss a paper that reviews which parts of the coffee plant have approval for use as food in the European Union. Everything from the leaves of the plant to the silver skin. Can you really make money off these by-products?


The paper is open access:
