Chicory root fibres

Chicory root fibres are natural dietary fibres extracted from the roots of the chicory plant. Depending on their chain length, they are also called inulin, oligofructose or fructooligosaccharides. They are well-appreciated ingredients in the food industry, due to their proven beneficial prebiotic effect, along with their taste and texture enhancing qualities. The health effects that chicory root fibres are being studied for, include digestive health, blood glucose management, bone health, weight management, immunity and more.
