Keep in mind that the amounts of these nutrients in chicory coffee are fairly low, as only a small amount of chicory root is brewed into the drink. summary

Coffee substitutes are sometimes used in preparing food and drink served to children, to people who believe that coffee is unhealthy, and to people who avoid caffeine for religious reasons. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) advises its members to refrain from drinking coffee, as church doctrine interprets a prohibition against "hot drinks" to include coffee in all forms. [2] The Seventh-day Adventist Church regards caffeine as an unhealthful substance, and advises its members to avoid all food and drink containing caffeine, including coffee.

Postum is an instant type of coffee substitute made from roasted wheat bran, wheat and molasses. It reached its height of popularity in the United States during World War II when coffee was sharply rationed. In 2021, media outlets reported that the world's first synthetic coffee products have been created by two biotechnology companies, still awaiting regulatory approvals for near-term commercialization. [13] [14] [15] Such products, which can be produced via cellular agriculture in bioreactors [15] and for which multiple companies' R&D have acquired substantial funding, may have equal or similar effects, composition and taste as natural products but use less water, generate less carbon emissions, require less labour [ additional citation(s) needed] and cause no deforestation. [13] Products that are comparable to naturally grown coffee on the chemical molecular level would not be "coffee substitutes" but differ only in their method of production; hence they would be "lab-grown coffee".

Nestlé Caro is another brand of instant drink made of roasted barley, malted barley, chicory, and rye. [11] Chicory is a flowering plant in the dandelion family. It’s characterized by a tough, hairy stem, light purple flowers, and leaves that are commonly used in salads.Apart from the rich cultural and historical significance, carob has many healthful properties. It is naturally caffeine and oxalate free. It is calcium rich and unlike chocolate does not limit the absorption of calcium into the blood stream. Carob is also vitamin (A, B, B2, B3 and D) and mineral (magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese and potassium) dense and is a good source of fiber and protein. It is not only cholesterol free but has pectin which is known to lower cholesterol. Carob is also traditionally used to treat cough, sore throat, diarrhea and an upset stomach. Although research on chicory inulin’s effect on blood sugar is limited, several other studies have shown that it may benefit blood sugar and insulin resistance.
