Who knew??

Okra seeds, when dried, can actually be roasted and ground to make a substitute coffee drink. But how does it compare to coffee?

What are the health benefits for okra coffee?
Great video!

I'm not sure. Probably not as many as there are for dandelion... :) But it can't be as bad for us as coffee. Right?

Wait what?!? coffee is the Life Elixir around here.
Antioxidants, Caffeine whats not healthy about that lol.

Wow dried okra seeds as a coffee substitute? Does it make slimy coffee? Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it! @ironshield

LOL It wasn't slimy at all. It tasted ... well, we refer to it as Okra Tea because it just wasn't coffee. :) You should try it sometime.

Every coffee substitute can be summed up as "Just not coffee." I think it's because we get used to the real thing and the substitutes are not the real thing. @ironshield

That was a neat experiment, thanks for sharing. From the video it looks like it may smell and taste bleh though which is too bad, I had high hopes!

We did too, but it wasn't all that awesome. Worth trying once, anyway.

@mountainmamma Well, thanks for being honest about it, so I didn't waste time trying it. Following in hopes of more content like this. :)
