Inka (drink) facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Inka is a popular Polish drink. It's made from roasted grains. It tastes a bit like coffee but doesn't have caffeine. This makes it a great choice for kids or anyone who wants to avoid caffeine. Inka has been made in Poland since 1971. It is still very popular today.

What is Inka Made From?

Inka is made from a mix of natural ingredients. These include rye, barley, chicory, and sugar beet. Grains like rye and barley make up most of the drink, about 72%. The classic Inka drink has no artificial ingredients or other added things. This means it's made with simple, natural ingredients.

Why Inka is Popular

Inka became popular in the 1970s. At that time, there wasn't always enough coffee in Poland. So, Inka was used as a coffee substitute. People liked it because it tasted similar but was easy to find. Even after coffee became widely available again, Inka stayed popular. Many people still enjoy it because it's caffeine-free. This means it won't make you feel jittery like coffee can.

Where is Inka Made?

Inka has been produced in a town called Skawina since 1971. Skawina has been a place where coffee products are made for a long time, even since the early 1900s. Today, a company called GRANA Sp. Z O.O. makes Inka.

Inka is not just popular in Poland. It is also sent to other countries. You can find it in Canada and the United States. In these countries, it's often sold as Naturalis Inka. The packaging might look similar to how it was sold in Poland in the early 1990s.
