All about Root Chicory > Medicinal benefits

100% natural and 100% plant-based, chicory has many beneficical properties. It is known for its depurative, digestive and prebiotic effects and is part of the French pharmacopoeia. 

Chicory contains no caffeine, no added sugar, and no gluten. Containing no stimulant, it is a perfect supplement to coffee. It can be enjoyed throughout the day, as a hot drink with water and milk, in pastries, or simply, as is the tradition in the Nord-Pas de Calais, by adding a few grains when brewing your coffee.

Its plant origin gives it more fiber, vitamins and minerals than animal-based products. Rich in inulin and in FOS (fructo-oligo-saccharides), chicory root is slightly sweet in taste and has a draining and slightly stimulant effect on bile. It also contributes to maintaining a balanced intestinal flora. 

Finally, a few grains of chicory burned in an incense burner or saucer will deodorize the air in all your rooms.
