CHERICO, chicory: a small gesture for you, a big step for the planet
Ah, chicory. That drink that some still categorize as "stuff grandma drank." Except that grandma was perhaps far ahead of her time than you think . One of those long-underrated products that ticks all the boxes: good for the body, good for the earth, good for the future.
A shot of goodness for your body (and not dopamine on credit)
No jitters, no crashes, no roller-coaster emotional ride. Chicory is a steady pleasure. Why? Because it's naturally caffeine-free and rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber that pampers your microbiome. In other words, while you sip your cup, your gut is giving you a wave.
And that's not all:
-
A natural boost : Thanks to its richness in fiber, it promotes a gradual absorption of carbohydrates, thus limiting sudden variations in blood sugar and providing more stable energy.
-
A comforting taste : Its roasted notes, its sweetness and its roundness make it a comforting drink, perfect for a stress-free break.
-
Facilitates digestion : Rich in prebiotic fibers, particularly inulin, it nourishes good intestinal bacteria and promotes optimal digestive balance.
-
Rich in antioxidants : Chicory contains phenolic compounds that help fight oxidative stress, thus protecting cells from premature aging.
-
Supports the liver : Known for its hepatoprotective properties, it promotes proper liver function by stimulating the production of bile, which facilitates the digestion of fats.
-
An ally for cardiovascular well-being : Its antioxidants and fiber help reduce inflammation and regulate cholesterol levels, thus supporting good cardiovascular health.
A choice that makes sense (and tastes good)
Drinking chicory is a bit like riding in Doc Brown's DeLorean: a return to a past where we consumed more sustainably, with local and natural products. But instead of staying stuck in the 1950s, with CHERICO we decided to adapt it to create a smarter future. A future where we make choices that are good for ourselves and for the planet, without compromising on taste.
So yes, we can continue to act as if chicory is a relic of the past, or just tell ourselves that we deserve diversity in our hot drinks!
At CHERICO, we have already chosen.
