Roasted Chicory (Sold In Bulk)

Roasted chicory is made from the root of the chicory plant (Cichorium intybus), which is roasted and ground into a coffee-like powder. It’s commonly used as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee, particularly in places like New Orleans, where it's often blended with coffee beans for a rich, robust flavor. Chicory root itself has a slightly bitter, earthy taste and is naturally high in inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that supports gut health.

Roasted chicory is known for its digestive benefits, such as promoting healthy bowel movements and supporting the liver. It’s also sometimes used to support overall detoxification and reduce inflammation.

You can brew it like coffee or use it as an ingredient in herbal blends, smoothies, or even baked goods. It can also be found in some caffeine-free "coffee" blends or as a stand-alone herbal drink.
