Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Barleycup is a quick and easy drink made from roasted grains. It's like an instant coffee, but it doesn't have any caffeine. You can find it in countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and parts of Europe and Asia.

A British company called Ridpath Pek Ltd. used to make Barleycup. In 2004, a big American company called Smithfield Foods bought it. Later, in 2013, a company named “Grana” Sp. z o.o. bought the Barleycup brand. This company had already been making the drinks for a while. They also updated the packaging that year.

In 2014, a new type of Barleycup came out, which included dandelion. Today, you can find different kinds of Barleycup products. These include powders and granules, and even an organic version.

Barleycup is made from roasted barley, rye, and chicory. The Barleycup with Dandelion also has dandelion root and sugar beet. These drinks are good because they don't have any artificial ingredients. They also don't contain lactose or dextrose. Many people enjoy Barleycup because it tastes and looks like coffee, but without the caffeine.
