| CHICORY |
Chicory is one of among 36,000 plant species worldwide containing a class of compounds called
fructo-oligosaccharides(FOS) or sometimes also simply called fructans, or non-digestible oligosaccharides.
barley and bananas. FOS have gained greater attentionfor their health-promoting benefits as prebiotics,
which are substances that are able to reach the colon intact and there ferment as food for beneficial bacteria,
what are known as probiotics. Prebiotics are therefore probiotic enhancers.
One FOS compound found naturally in Chicory having excellent prebiotic activity, and with wide application in
food processing is inulin. Chicory root is considered a strong source of inulin, with concentrations of
13%-20%, and is currently its best known source. Inulin is a non digestible, water-soluble, short to
medium-chain polysaccharide(carbohydrate) fiber with excellent properties as a prebiotic. Inulin is not affected
by stomach acids, but finds it way, intact into the large intestine(colon) where it undergoes bacterial
fermentation. In other words, it becomes food for beneficial intestinal flora, primarily of the bifidus, and to
lesser extent lactobacillus, species. Inulin literlaly encourages the growth of the intestinal flora that because of
tis containing a high-profile, non-digestible FOS, it comes to break down over time in its fermentation in the
colon to provide nutrients to beneficial flora.
It has been said that the foundation of health begins in the colon. Chicory, in its role as a support food
therefore has numerous benefits for health. Increased intestinal fermentation results in better nutrient
absorption from the foods we eat, and helps in the production of vitamins, primarily the B vitamins and vitamins
K and folic acid, and in the production of enzymes. By encouraging friendly bacteria, FOS fermentation, helps
to suppress other harmful bacterial species. Additional health benefits include alleviation of constipation or of
diarrehea, and increasing the stool mass for better regularity, protecting the liver from the overwork of
cleaning out a colon made toxic by putrefying matter, increasing the bioavailability of minerals, such as
calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, and helping to regulate a balanced
cholesterol level. Inulin fermentation increases functioning of the intestinal tract in liver processing, and in
general metabolism. Friendly intestinal flora, particularly the bifidobacteria, are also immunomodulators - they
help regulate a properly responding immune system.
Chicory, considered also a dietary fiber, is widely versatile and naturally sweet - it can be used in deserts,
beverages, cereals, nutritional bars, yogurts, bakery goods, and since it is non-glycemic, as a sugar
replacement, therefore safe for diabetics. It nicely enhances the textures of food which is why it is so
commonly used. In addition to , and because of , all the health benefits already mentioned, it is also useful in
weight management programs.
We use chicory as an important ingredient in the FOS complex of our probiotic Friendly Colonizer formula, as
well as in our superfood Supremely Green. Our chcory is non-GMO, contains no allergens, and having a
glycemic index of 0. Chicory's health benefits, its texture, its natural seetness, its cersatile contribution to other
foods, truly makes it an important support food of its own.
