I kid you not: broccoli coffee is a thing

If our FavorFlav colleague Emma hears this, she will freak out. Are you reading along, Em? After avocado burgers, beet pizzas, and cauliflower rice, they are now coming for your coffee. Coffee with broccoli powder. Yes. It. Exists. In Australia at least. The stuff has been developed to increase the daily vegetable intake of the people down under. If you tell me this is being marketed in America: okay. But seriously? I find it intense. Although I’m probably also the last person on earth to look at this objectively because I have a trauma from broccoli itself (something with a father and a plate that went back into the microwave three times). Well, here’s a positive point: for the ‘broccoffee’ (yes, that’s what it’s called, help) so-called ‘misshapen broccolis’ are collected and then pulverized. Two tablespoons of the green powder is said to be as healthy as a whole broccoli stalk and the powder also ensures that the less attractive dried broccolis are not thrown away. I uh, will just stick to a cappuccino if you don’t mind. Right, Em?
