Chicory, a valuable ally during pregnancy

A natural, caffeine-free alternative

Pregnancy is a time when every food choice counts. Many expectant mothers seek to reduce their caffeine intake to protect their health and that of their baby. The good news? Roasted chicory is a natural, comforting, and safe alternative.

Why limit caffeine during pregnancy?

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) , excessive caffeine consumption (over 200 mg per day) may be associated with increased risks of low birth weight or miscarriage ( ACOG Committee Opinion No. 462, 2010 ).

👉 Hence the importance of finding caffeine-free alternatives.

Chicory: a comforting drink without the risk of overstimulation

• 0% caffeine : perfect for keeping the coffee ritual without the side effects.
• Rich in prebiotic fiber (inulin) : promotes digestive health, often put to the test during pregnancy.
• Coffee-like flavor : Roasted chicory offers an aromatic depth reminiscent of coffee, without the nervous excitement.

What the research says

Studies in English highlight the benefits of chicory in food:

• Research published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition (2013) highlights the beneficial effects of inulin on gut health and metabolism.
• Chicory is known for its antioxidant properties ( Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005 ).

⚠️ Important note : As with any dietary change during pregnancy, it is recommended to consult a doctor or midwife before introducing chicory on a regular basis.

A gentle and natural solution

By choosing chicory, expectant mothers can enjoy a rich-tasting hot drink while taking care of their baby. It's a simple way to replace coffee with a healthy, natural, and safe alternative .
