Can I drink this chicory in the evening, and does it contain caffeine? — Dissolving chicur with blueberry and rose bitter 100g -hutorok

Chicory contains no caffeine — this is the fundamental difference from coffee and most teas. That is why instant chicory is often chosen as a coffee substitute in the afternoon or evening, when stimulating drinks are undesirable.

Inulin, which chicory extract is rich in, has no stimulating effect. It is one of the natural soluble dietary fibres and makes the drink feel more filling, without affecting the nervous system the way caffeine does.

This drink can therefore be seen as an option for a quiet evening, a warm break during the day or situations when you are consciously cutting down on caffeine. It is quick to prepare — like any instant powder — and equally convenient at home, in the office or when travelling.

If you have a chronic condition, are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, it is worth consulting a specialist before drinking it regularly.
