1 cup (medium) of Menengic coffee (25 g) has 105 calories. That works out to 420 calories per 100 g. It contains 9.5 g of carbs, 2.5 g of protein, 6 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 13% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Menengic coffee is made from the roasted, ground fruit of the terebinth tree, a wild pistachio relative native to parts of the Mediterranean and western Asia. It contains no coffee beans and is naturally caffeine-free. Brewed into a thick, smooth cup, it has a mellow, toasted, slightly resinous nuttiness rather than the sharp bitterness associated with regular coffee.
In southeastern Turkey it is commonly simmered with water or milk and served after a meal or alongside conversation and sweets. Outside its home region, you can enjoy it as a distinctive alternative to coffee, especially if you want a warm drink without caffeine. Use water for a lighter cup, or add milk for extra body; sweetening is optional.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Menengic coffee is made from the roasted fruit of the terebinth tree, also called wild pistachio, rather than coffee beans. The fruit is ground or made into a paste, then prepared as a warm drink.
No, Menengic coffee is naturally caffeine-free because it is made from terebinth fruit, not coffee beans. If you buy a blend rather than pure Menengic coffee, check whether coffee has been added, since that would change its caffeine content.
Cook Menengic coffee in a small pot with water or milk, stirring the ground product into the liquid as it warms. Heat it gently until it foams, then pour into cups; follow the directions if you are using a prepared paste.
Menengic coffee has a roasted, nutty flavor and is often creamier than brewed coffee, especially when made with milk. It does not have the familiar coffee-bean taste, so its aroma may be surprising the first time you try it.
Menengic coffee is called coffee because it is prepared and served like a coffee, but it contains no coffee beans. Its main ingredient is roasted terebinth fruit, which gives it a distinctive flavor and makes it naturally caffeine-free.
Yes, Menengic coffee can be prepared with milk or water. Milk gives it a richer, smoother texture, while water lets the roasted terebinth flavor stand out more. Heat it gently so the milk does not boil over.
Yes, Menengic coffee is one option if you want a warm drink without caffeine, though its nutty flavor is quite different from regular coffee. It works well as a coffee-style drink, but it will not provide coffee’s caffeine effects.
Menengic coffee does not contain caffeine, so it avoids caffeine’s stimulating effect, but it is not a sleep aid. A late drink may still feel heavy if you make it with plenty of milk or prefer smaller evening portions.
There is no good evidence that Menengic coffee treats a cough or cold. It can be enjoyed as a warm drink, but claims that it cures respiratory symptoms are not established; seek appropriate medical care for concerning or persistent symptoms.
Keep ground Menengic coffee in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and strong odors. If you have a paste, follow its storage instructions after opening, since some products may need refrigeration.
