Coffee and chicory essence, with water

Coffee and chicory essence with water is a drink made by diluting the essence in water. The figures describe the prepared drink rather than the concentrated essence. It consists mainly of water, with carbohydrate providing most of its energy. Per 100g, it provides 40 kJ of energy, 2.4g of carbohydrate, including 2.3g of sugars, and 0.01g of salt.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body. The sugar and energy content may be relevant to people monitoring their intake, particularly if sugar or milk is added to the prepared drink. It provides little protein and only trace amounts of fat. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
