Cicoria is a perennial plant widely used as a natural coffee substitute and a valuable health-promoting agent. It is rich in inulin — a plant-based dietary fiber that improves digestion and promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the gut, and also contains B-complex vitamins, tannins, carotene, and organic acids. Due to its composition, chicory supports the cardiovascular and nervous systems, helps lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, making it a beneficial component of daily nutrition. However, contraindications should be considered: chicory is not recommended for individuals with high stomach acidity, peptic ulcers, oxalate diathesis, as well as for those with varicose veins, hemorrhoids, or gallstone disease.
Soluble chicory with ginseng is a convenient and tasty beverage that is easy to prepare — simply add hot water. Roasted chicory root imparts a pleasant taste with a slight bitterness and aroma, while the addition of ginseng enhances the product's beneficial properties. Ginseng is known for its adaptogenic qualities, helping the body cope with stress and boosting immunity, making such a beverage not only tasty but also beneficial for overall health.
The product is available in powder form with high inulin content (about 32%), ensuring its prebiotic effect and improving digestion. Chicory with milk tastes like coffee with milk, making it an excellent alternative for those avoiding caffeine. The zipper-sealed packaging preserves the natural aroma and freshness of the product, ensuring convenient storage and use.
