OUR CERTIFICATIONS

Overview

Chicory is a flowering plant in the dandelion family, characterized by its bright blue flowers. The root of the plant is harvested, dried, roasted, and ground to create a powder that is famously blended with coffee in South India or used on its own as a caffeine-free alternative. Its rich inulin content makes it a focus of modern research for its benefits to gut microbiome health.

French: Racine de chicorée
German: Zichorienwurzel
Chinese: Jú jù gēn (菊苣根)
Arabic: ذور ا ور (Judhur al-shikuria)
Spanish: Raíz de achicoria
Russian: Корень цикория (Koren’ tsikoriya)

Chicory root is best known as a coffee substitute, but it is also a powerful prebiotic herb. It is rich in inulin, a type of soluble fiber that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria. In traditional medicine, it is used to support liver health, aid digestion, and reduce inflammation. Its bitter taste helps to stimulate the digestive system and pacify Pitta and Kapha doshas.

As a Caffeine-Free Coffee Alternative: Brew the powder as you would coffee grounds for a rich, dark beverage with a roasted flavor.
As a Prebiotic Supplement: A small amount of the unroasted powder can be added to smoothies or yogurt to provide a source of inulin fiber for gut health.
