Instant Chicory 100 g - Zdorovje

What it is

"ZDOROVJE" Lahustuv sigur 100 g by Vokrug Sveta is an instant chicory drink made from chicory root granules. People usually choose chicory when they want a warm, roasted-tasting alternative to coffee but prefer to avoid caffeine. It gives a full, slightly bittersweet flavour and can fit well into mornings, work breaks, or evening moments when coffee may feel too stimulating.

Inulin, the naturally occurring fibre

What makes chicory interesting is its naturally occurring inulin, a type of soluble fibre found in the root. In simple terms, inulin is not digested in the same way as regular carbohydrates. Instead, it passes further into the gut, where it can serve as food for beneficial intestinal bacteria. This is why chicory is often associated with a more balanced digestive environment. The effect is gentle and food-based rather than medicinal, which is one reason this drink has remained popular for years as part of a mindful eating pattern.

Why people choose it

The granulated form of Vokrug Sveta chicory is practical: it dissolves quickly in hot water and makes preparation easy when you want something warm without brewing coffee or tea. Because the product contains no caffeine, it may suit:

• People sensitive to stimulants who prefer to avoid caffeine.
• Those reducing coffee intake but still wanting a warm drink.
• Anyone looking for more variety in their beverage routine.

Some enjoy it plain, while others add milk, a plant drink, or a little sweetener for a softer taste.

Good to know

Chicory has a long tradition in Europe as a coffee substitute, especially in periods when coffee was expensive or less available. Today it is often chosen not out of necessity, but for its flavour profile and naturally occurring fibre content. If you are increasing fibre in your menu, it is sensible to start with moderate amounts and see how your digestion responds, as chicory may not suit everyone equally well.
