Health benefits:

 Every 100 gram of corn coffee contains carbohydrates, fiber, ash, protein, and antioxidants,” said Chito Rodriguez of the Institute of Plant Breeding-University of the Philippines Los Baños (IPB-UPLB)

One cup of whole-grain corn provides 18.4 of the daily recommendation of fiber and powdered form of it has all the fiber intact and even more bio available.

However, corn, which is is moderately rich in vitamins, loses the most important of them during any kind of cooking. For example:

- Thiamin (vitamin B1) - high temperatures can destroy thiamin

- Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) - can be lost in any kind of cooking

- Folate - any cooking technique can destroy folate

- Vitamin C - can be destroyed during roasting and boiling
Procedure:
 if you want to produce your own coffee, it’s easy. Ground corn is roasted until the color turns to dark brown. The resulting coffee powder is boiled for 10-15 minutes. You just allow the sediments to settle and then get the black liquid and then your hot corn coffee is ready to serve. Sugar and cream can also be added to enhance the taste,” said Rodriguez.

Business:
When packaged, the production cost is about P120 per kilogram. Corn coffee is currently being sold in the market for P350 – P500 for every kilogram. This means at least a P230 profit for every kilo of corn coffee sold.

Know your bisdak(bisayang-dako): you may know bisdak(bisayang-dako)..you may live with a bisdak(bisayang-dako) or have lived with a bisdak(bisayang-dako).. have you lived as bisdak(bisayang-dako)? 

Here's a clue: we bisdaks love things that are mild..mild lifestyle, mild fashion, mild food and mild woman but most of all, pinoy-bisdak love mild coffee.

This morning i decyded to make my own home made corn coffee. corn coffee? you read that right! the common coffee we use are made from roasted and grounded coffee beans. But when i was young, I still am, my family enjoys traditional corn coffee in the morning.So right after I dropped my (mild)Rhea in school for work, I went straight to the market to buy yellow, size 10 grain corn. i bought 3 kilos of grounded corn but i only set aside 2 cups of corn for the roasting.the rest will be used to replace my rice*.

So here's what i did, I prepared the ff:
wok-1
grounded yellow corn (size 10) -2 cups
1 wooden(prefered) sandok to stir. If there is none, regular metal stirrer will do 

Procedure for roasting: (its soo elementary!) 1.heat the wok (high heat 1st then mid heat as soon as the corn turns dark)
2.place the 2 cups of corn
3.and stir until the corn is fully roasted
WARNING: do not over roast it! just achieve the right dark brown color. 
4. cool it down(i used the fan)
5. place in a seal-able glass jar when you decide to drink the roasted corn.


This is my preferred preparation:
1. I used the same system in preparing coffee using coffee maker; a.install filter .and put a 2 table spoon sized roasted corn coffee in the filter
2. place 2 cups of water on the water tank of the coffee maker .
3.turn on the power  and wait
3. pour on the mug the corn coffee, empty 2 sachets of coffee creamer,and brown sugar of yer desired preference , stir , drink and enjoy! if you like it..buy me coffee!


Disclaimer: everything that I wrote is accurately in accordance to how i just did my coffee 2day. any sort of health issue thereof I am not responsible. one thing is for sure..IT CAN BE VERY ADDICTIVE TO SOME PEOPLE when done right. please use mildly.

Me and the my life in this Temporary world

Mabuhay!

(its a Filipino hospitality greeting that means "alive" or wishing you life or good life).

I am a Filipino and and a Jesus Freak. I didn't choose to be a Filipino, but our good Lord planned me to be here for his glory. I live in a country with full of dignity and painted with mignificent colors of different cultures. We are a country fused with cultures all over. We have cultures and traditions different from every Island, all 7,100 of them. And because of this we are also subject for corruption and abuse. We are constantly exploited by either Local and foreign people,but we persevere, we move on; Sometimes we bow our heads, but we still walk forward and display our smiles politely saying "Mabuhay".I am happy and proud to be a Filipino. I am proud of our heritage, proud of our history. And I believe I am here for a purpose, greater purpose, this country, this land these people who feared God most.
