Like other vegetables, chicory is very healthy. But chicory offers even more: it hardly contains any calories (20 kCal/100 grams) or carbohydrates (4 grams/100 grams).

Chicory is packed full of healthy nutrients, such as fibre, minerals, folic acid (25 mcg/100 gram), and vitamin C (5 mg/100 gram).

Chicory aids digestion and is perfect as part of a healthy, low-calorie diet.

The bitter substances in chicory have a positive impact on liver function. Because the liver produces less glucose, this vegetable is also very healthy for diabetics.

The minerals in chicory are a good diuretic, and folic acid promotes a healthy pregnancy.
