Virginia Gold Peanut Coffee | The world’s first caffeinated coffee alternative made of peanuts
Virginia Gold Peanut coffee is the world’s first caffeinated coffee alternative made of peanuts. For what we have read it’s the latest coffee craze in the US and we understand it isn’t coffee, but it looks like it and is delicious. Check out the reviews in the press, for example the FoodNetwork Magazine writes: “It tastes like a less acidic version of coffee, with just a hint of nutty flavor”. We here in Europe have to wait though, we only spotted it in the social media and articles in the US. We also understood that they aren’t shipping to Europe yet. We love to try it though, don’t you?

While peanuts and coffee are both technically roasted beans, their similarities traditionally end there. That is until James Harrell, owner and founder of Virginia Gold™ patented the process for the world’s first coffee made entirely from peanuts grown in the United States. He created a dry, granular substance much like ground coffee. Made of 100% peanuts from the Virginia based farm from James Harrell and according to their website it resembles regular coffee in the way it tastes, the way it smells and the way it is prepared. The process to manufacture Peanut Coffee is a completely new, proprietary process in the food industry which uses varying methods and amounts of heat and pressure. Roasted Peanut Oil is a by–product of Peanut Coffee.

They call Peanut Coffee ‘coffee’ because it tastes very similar to regular coffee.
