The bean-free coffee offers businesses an affordable and sustainable option.
FOR millions around the world, coffee has become an integral part of daily life. With global coffee consumption at 173.1 million 60kg bags within the coffee year 2022/23, according to the International Coffee Organisation, getting people to part with their favourite bean-fuelled beverage may be a tall order.
The co-founders of sustainable bioflavours start-up Prefer, however, are more than up to the challenge. Through innovative use of fermentation technology, Prefer has launched the first bean-free coffee in Singapore, providing a sustainable and more affordable alternative made with repurposed food by-products like soybean pulp and spent barley grains.
