What is Chicory coffee with inulin?
Chicory coffee with inulin is a coffee-style drink made from roasted chicory root, with inulin added for extra fibre. Chicory has long been used as a coffee alternative in parts of Europe, including when coffee beans were scarce; this drink is caffeine-free.
Its flavour is roasted and gently earthy, usually milder than brewed coffee. Stir it into hot water for breakfast or an afternoon break, or add milk or a plant-based drink for a softer, rounder cup. It is very low in fat and rich in fibre, with 68 g per 100 g. A small teaspoon is about 5 g, so you can start with that modest amount and adjust the strength to taste.
