Are coffee grinds edible?!
Are coffee grinds edible?
Hello,
I have some organic coffee beans that I bought from Costco earlier in the week, they have a very fresh aroma to them. I was wondering if I can forego brewing coffee in a coffeemaker and just grind the coffee, pour hot water and then, after drinking the coffee, eat the grinds at the bottom of the cup?
Thanks,
Av
Answers:
Of course you can. Turkish coffee is very similar to what you're talking about, but it is very finely ground and people who drink it usually don't drink it to the bottom, but you certainly can. And, as mentioned prior here, chocolate covered coffee beans are a very popular treat. Coffee grounds are also often used in baking to add taste and crunch.

I'm no doctor but I would say yes you can eat the grounds as long as you do it in moderation. There would probably be a lot of caffeine in them so I would be careful. I have had chocolate covered coffee beans and I have seen people eat coffee beans whole.
Yes they are they actually sell chocolate covered espresso beans they are very tasty but will make you fly from all the caffeine and could upset your stomach if you have too much
I wouldn't do it ............instead. brew your coffee the standard way....and use the grounds for compost......
why do this?? no test but no harm!!
Possibly, but it would taste very bitter.
Not advisable!
