A beverage crop is the one that produces a potable beverage other than water. It can also include crops that produce starch (all cereals) or sugar (sugarcane, sugar beet), which can be used for making a drink or a beverage.
Beverage is a potable drink other than water. The word beverage was derived from the old French word ‘boivre’ or the modern French word ‘boire’ that means a ‘drink’. There are two types of beverages: non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Common non-alcoholic beverages include coffee, tea, milk, coke, sodas, etc. Alcoholic beverages include beers, wine, whiskey, and other hard drinks.
The common non-alcoholic beverage crops are coffee, tea, sugarcane, sugar beet, coconut, lemon grass, etc.
The common crops that are used in alcoholic drinks are: barley (beers), sorghum (sorghum beer), rice (Sake in Japan), coconuts, palmira, and other palms (palm wine), grapes (grape wine), sugarcane & maize (alcohol), etc. In fact, any starch or a sugar crop can be used to prepare alcohols. Agave is used in Mexico to prepare a famous alcoholic drink called Tequila.
