FAQ

Can I drink chicory during pregnancy?

Chicory is often recommended for pregnant women because it is mild, rich in prebiotic fiber, and can help combat constipation while contributing to good hydration. Its consumption should be kept moderate (2 to 3 cups/day).

As every pregnancy is different, if you have any doubts, it is recommended to speak with a healthcare professional.


Does chicory contain gluten?

Our roasted chicory is gluten-free and contains only one ingredient: roasted chicory root.

What taste should I expect?
