Chicory root powder is a finely ground product made from the dried roots of the Cichorium intybus plant, renowned for its earthy flavor and health-boosting properties. This versatile powder has been a favorite for centuries as a caffeine-free coffee substitute and a natural remedy for digestive health. Rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber, chicory root powder promotes gut health, supports liver detoxification, and provides a host of antioxidants and essential nutrients. Its slightly sweet and nutty flavor makes it an excellent addition to beverages, baked goods, and wellness recipes.
