What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the natural foods or coffee-alternatives aisle, pulled for a caffeine-free morning ritual or a cozy evening cup. It feels comforting and a little nostalgic with roasted carob, barley and chicory creating a coffee-like sip, but the added 'natural vanilla nut flavor' and concentrated extracts hint at more industrial formulation. The toasted texture comes from roasted plant ingredients, while the added flavoring and blended formulation point toward processing beyond simple whole foods.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although built from whole roasted ingredients (carob, barley, chicory, dates, nuts), the inclusion of a manufactured 'natural vanilla nut flavor' and the formulated blend/processing are characteristic of ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4).
