Manufacturing and Debating Coffee Substitutes in Nineteenth-Century Sweden

Salamonik, Michal

This book explores the development of coffee substitutes in nineteenth-century Sweden. In doing so, it considers the the threshold between the preindustrial and industrial periods by analyzing trade, consumption, social, economic, and environmental changes, and the Second Agricultural Revolution. By analyzing the development of coffee substitutes in Sweden, the project discovers even the social and gender norms connected to the usage of new beverages. Connecting developments in Sweden with wider European and global contexts, it provides a unique insight into the period's environmental and food histories. Finally, the book traces how reenactment takes place through growing plants and preparing historical beverages.
