CHERICO, chicory: a small gesture for you, a big step for the planet

Ah, chicory. That drink that some people still lump into the "stuff granny drank" category. Except that Granny may have been further ahead of her time than you think.. One of those products too long underrated that ticks all the boxes: good for the body, good for the earth, good for the future.

A shot of goodness for your body (not dopamine on credit)

No shakes, no jitters, no roller-coaster emotional elevator. Chicory is a stable pleasure. And why is that? Because it's naturally caffeine-free and rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber that pampers your microbiota. In other words, while you're sipping your cup, your intestines are giving you a wave.

And that's not all:

• A natural boost Thanks to its high fiber content, it promotes the gradual absorption of carbohydrates, limiting sudden variations in blood sugar levels and providing more stable energy.

• A comforting taste : Its roasted notes, smoothness and roundness make it a comforting drink, perfect for a stress-free break.

• Facilitates digestion Rich in prebiotic fibers, notably inulin, it nourishes good intestinal bacteria and promotes optimal digestive balance.

• Rich in antioxidants Chicory contains phenolic compounds that help fight oxidative stress, protecting cells from premature aging.

• Supports the liver Known for its hepatoprotective properties, it promotes healthy liver function by stimulating bile production, which facilitates fat digestion.

• An ally for cardiovascular well-being The antioxidants and fiber it contains help reduce inflammation and regulate cholesterol levels, supporting good cardiovascular health.

A choice that makes sense (and taste)

Drinking chicory is a bit like getting into Doc Brown's DeLorean: a return to a past where we consumed more sensibly, with local and natural products. But instead of staying stuck in the 50s, CHERICO decided to adapt it to create a smarter future. A future where we make choices that are good for us and good for the planet, without compromising on taste.

So yes, we can continue to pretend that chicory is a relic of the past, or just say that we deserve diversity in our hot drinks! 

At CHERICO, we've already made our choice.
