Chicory Root Roasted Granules ~ 100% Premium
Botanical name: Chicorium Intybus
Chicory, also known as blue dandelion and ragged sailors, is an attractive wayside simple that is native to Europe and now naturalized in North America. For centuries, its long taproot has been harvested to make a hot beverage, especially during times when coffee beans were scarce.
Chicory root contains oligofructose and inulin, two forms of soluble fiber that serve as a prebiotics to encourage the colonization of “friendly” bacteria in the gut. In fact, chicory contains the highest concentration of inulin that any other plant known. The herb is also a good source of vitamin C.
