The caffeine content of beverages containing chicory was determined using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). A coffee/chicory mixture substitute contains 3.18 mg/fl oz of caffeine, whereas instant coffee contains 12.61 mg/fl oz of caffeine.
The chicory found in the orange box above, however, is the ground up root of the plant, not the leaves. While the box advertises chicory as a coffee partner, chicory can actually be used on its own as a coffee substitute. This was done throughout history when coffee was too expensive or unavailable. Many of you may be familiar with Cafe Du Monde, a popular New Orleans coffee that is enhanced with chicory.
