Coffee and chicory essence

Coffee and chicory essence is a concentrated liquid used to make drinks. These figures describe the bottled CAMP essence, rather than a prepared drink. It mainly provides carbohydrate, most of which is sugar. Per 100g, it contains 931 kJ of energy, 56g of carbohydrate and 54g of sugars, with little fat or protein.

Carbohydrate supplies energy for the body. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake, and frequent consumption of sugary drinks can contribute to tooth decay. The composition of a prepared drink depends on the amount of essence used and any milk or other ingredients added. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (7 bottles of the same brand (CAMP)). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: As MW6, Manufacturer's data, McCormick Europe condiment Division, Sep 2000.
