The drink from the dried boiled water was called "Cigorka". Roasting and blending the root of chicory and barley produced a fragrant and delicious cereal drink that perfectly replaced and still replaces coffee, and not only for people who prefer a healthy lifestyle. Beverages containing roasted chicory coffee perceived because of their typical taste of pure nature and positive effects on the body.

1.The bitter chicory substances improve digestion and stimulate digestive organs by promoting the digestion of digestive juices and improving mobility of the digestive tract smooth muscle.

 

2.The chicory root contains about 50% inulin and its positive effect on the human body is currently proven by various scientific studies. Inulin is a plant ingredient that is officially recognized as a fiber. Among the many positive effects described in the various herbariums, healing books, and expert studies are:

 

Inulin has a positive effect on diabetes

Its main component is fructose; its entry into cells does not require insulin, which is often lacking in diabetes. Since inulin is virtually not degraded by the digestive enzymes in the small intestine, it acts to some extent as a fiber that lowers the glycemic index of foods. Consumption of foods with higher fiber and hence inulin results in lower and more stable blood glucose levels.

 

Inulin has a positive effect on the digestive system

It is like a prebiotic serving intestinal bacteria as food - creating a suitable environment for reproduction and preservation of the natural intestinal microflora. As dietary fiber cannot be digested in the digestive system, it enters the intestinal tract intact and affects the composition and consistency in the stomach and intestine as well as the rate of emptying.
