Nutritional values

Chircorée is very rich in vitamins and minerals. Its folic acid content is particularly noteworthy - here you can fill up half your daily requirement with one portion! The B vitamin is involved in the formation of red blood cells, controls cell division and growth. An adequate supply is particularly important for pregnant women so that the baby's spinal cord and brain can develop properly.

The slightly bitter taste of chicory, which you can neutralize with a shot of lemon juice, is based on the ingredient lactucopikrin (intybin). It stimulates the appetite and has a positive effect on bile activity, digestion and metabolism.
