Mushrooms Grown From Used Coffee Grounds
Smart young entrepreneurs have created a genius company by the name of Bttr Ventures which aims to combat the billions of pounds of annual coffee bean waste and instead use it to make another food product – mushrooms.
The idea came about when college students Nikhil and Alejandro heard in business class how some people in Africa take coffee grounds and use them to make mushrooms. They noticed a potential business idea and took it from there.
Now they’re both on their way to creating a name for themselves in the specialty mushroom category. Natural foods grocery company Whole Foods has picked up on their story and several locations now carry the coffee ground powered mushrooms.
