Chicory Root Powder, Chicorium intybus, organic
Imported from Italy
Chicory root is a rich natural source of fibre and inulin, both important for gut health. The powder has the flavour of coffee and is used mostly as a healthy, caffeine-free, coffee substitute. The long traditional use and modern research provide evidence that the consumption of chicory provides multiple benefits, including:
- Antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial
- Anticarcinogenic
- Anthelmintic (can treat parasite-related infections)
- Immune-stimulating
- Antihepatotoxic (can prevent liver damage)
- Antioxidative
- Prebiotic
