Poop
beverages are probably one of the most unfathomable things you've ever heard
but it's real, people do eat dishes and drink beverages made from either human
or animal poop. Take a look at these foods and beverages made from human waste.
After all, with food, taste is highly subjective.
1. Feces Wine/Ttongsul
 |
| Making of Ttongsul |
As
indicated by its name, feces wine is an alcoholic wine made from feces. Dr. Lee
Chang Soo is a traditional Korean medicine doctor who claims to be one of the
last people who knows how to make the drink, given that the consumption of
Ttsongul almost died out in the 1960s. Ancient Koreans claimed the drink could
cure a host of diseases. Ttsongul is 9% alcohol and makes use of faeces from
children aged six. Other ingredients include: boiled rice, yeast, and concentrated
faeces water.
2.
Panda Dung Green Tea
An
Yanshi, a wildlife expert and super panda enthusiast from Sichuan, China,
invented this tea in November 2011. It is currently the world's most expensive
tea, with a cup costing about $200. Panda tea is cultivated in the mountains of
Ya'an, Sichuan, and is fertilized by the dung of pandas.
Panda excrement is said to be loaded with various vitamins and
minerals that come from bamboo – what pandas primarily eat. The important
nutrients are absorbed in the tea through the fertilization process. “Just like green tea, bamboo contains an element that can prevent
cancer and enhance green tea’s anti-cancer effects if it is used as
fertilizer for the tea,” says creator Yanshi.

Luwak/ Civet Dung Coffee

| Coffee beans harvested from the poop of civets |
Civet
coffee is derived from coffee cherries that have been eaten, partially digested
and crapped by Asian civet cats. As
reported by Enjoyjava, Wild civets only eat the ripest coffee cherries (which
make the best coffee) which ferment in their digestive tract. During this
process of around 24 to 36 hours enzymes break down some of the beans' proteins
– altering the taste and chemical composition of the end product. Once
the coffee beans are excreted in the civet's poop, they are collected, washed,
dried, roasted, ground and brewed. This is one of the most expensive coffees in
the world, with its retail price reaching US$700 per kilogram.
