Botanical & Regional Info

Scientific name: Cichorium intybus

Common names: Chicory (English), Zichorie (German), Chicorée (French), Achicoria (Spanish), チコリ Chikori (Japanese), 치커리 Chikeori (Korean), 菊苣根 Jújù gēn (Chinese), कसनी Kasni (Hindi)

Country of origin: India 

Grade: Food grade · Roasted, dried + milled (no carriers)

Shelf life: 12–18 months – store sealed, < 25 °C, < 65 % RH

How to Use

Steep 1 tbsp powder in 200 ml hot water for a caffeine-free “chicory coffee” delivering 4 g prebiotic fibre.

Add 8 % to gluten-free bread; inulin improves gas retention and moist crumb.

Blend 5 g into plant-protein shakes for creamy mouthfeel and gut-support claim.

Use 4 % in chocolate coatings—natural roast notes deepen cocoa flavour without sugar.

Replace 20 % malt extract in granola clusters with 22 g chicory powder to cut added sugar and raise fibre.

Key Benefits

≈ 65 % inulin: a proven prebiotic that feeds Bifidobacteria and supports digestive comfort.

Caffeine-free roasted flavour lets brands offer coffee taste for sensitive consumers.

Low GI (~34) and 4 kcal g⁻¹ inulin enable “reduced sugar” and “low glycaemic” positioning.

Source of potassium (~900 mg/100 g) and manganese for electrolyte and metabolism claims.

Fine 100-mesh milling disperses quickly; water activity < 0.25 ensures 18-month shelf stability.

How does inulin-rich chicory powder support gut health compared with isolated FOS or GOS fibres?

Chicory root naturally concentrates long-chain inulin (DP 10-60) that resists digestion in the upper gut and ferments slowly in the colon. This gradual fermentation produces butyrate and lowers gas spikes that sometimes accompany short-chain FOS. A 2020 RCT (n = 132 healthy adults) showed that 10 g chicory inulin daily for eight weeks increased faecal Bifidobacteria 28 % and reduced subjective bloating scores versus placebo. Our roasted-root powder contains ≈ 6.5 g inulin per 10 g serving, so a 15 g measure in cereal clusters delivers the studied dose while adding coffee-like flavour. Because long-chain inulin swells 5× in water, it also enhances satiety and can replace part of fat or sugar in baked goods, giving formulators dual prebiotic-and-caloric-reduction benefits from a single clean-label ingredient.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human studies; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early lab data.

Can chicory powder fully replace coffee in caffeine-sensitive beverage lines?

Yes—1 tbsp powder brewed in 200 ml water yields a roast-nutty cup with 0 mg caffeine. Sensory panels rated 70 % chicory : 30 % coffee blends 7.8/9, matching flavour acceptance of 100 % arabica while cutting caffeine 70 %.

Claim strength: High.

How does chicory-inulin affect blood-sugar response in reduced-sugar bars?

In a crossover study (n = 18), replacing 15 g dextrose with 17 g chicory powder in a 50 g snack bar lowered 2 h glucose iAUC 19 % and insulin 22 %.

Claim strength: Emerging.

Does roasting damage inulin or polyphenols?

Light roasting (160 °C, 30 min) reduces inulin DP only 5 %. Chlorogenic acid content retains 60 %, adding ≈ 1 mmol TE antioxidants per 10 g serve.

Claim strength: High.

What is the effect on mineral absorption—does inulin enhance calcium uptake?

Long-chain inulin improves mineral solubility in the colon. A 12-week adolescent trial demonstrated +14 mg day⁻¹ calcium retention with 8 g chicory inulin. Using 10 g powder in yogurt delivers 6.5 g inulin, supporting “helps calcium absorption” structure–function messaging when dairy calcium is present.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Any allergen, gluten or FODMAP concerns?

Chicory is naturally gluten-free. Long-chain inulin is tolerated up to 15 g daily; sensitive consumers should start at 5 g to avoid gas. Chicory-ragweed cross-allergy is rare; label “contains chicory” for transparency.

Claim strength: High.
