Common chicory is a blue flowering perennial plant that often grow by roadsides and in pastures.  One of its varieties, root chicory is being cultivated for its high fiber content.  Chicory root fiber is an ingredient that is often added to foods, such as cereals, protein and energy bars, and even some bread.  

It is often added by food manufactures to increase the fiber content, in that chicory root fiber is a source of inulin, which is a type of soluble fiber.  Soluble fiber means that it is able to hold water and become a gel like substance.  This means when it is added to foods it is able to enhance moisture and it also provides a creamy texture.
 
Fiber isn’t digested, so, it helps to slow the digestive process and can help give a sense of feeling fuller.  Inulin is also considered a prebiotic fiber. And chicory root is 68% inulin! Wow! A prebiotic fiber increases the growth or activity of beneficial or good bacteria in our digestive system, and that is why you see inulin included in many probiotic supplements. Bring on the fire of learning! 

So, chicory root fiber or inulin is healthy right? You better believe it is!
 
Though as I have stated in my videos, it is about moderation.  Over consumption can lead to bloating and cramping, nausea, and flatulence.  Some whole foods that are rich sources of inulin include artichoke, asparagus, onions, and garlic.  

These foods are nutrient dense, unlike highly processed cereals or protein bars, which may contain large amounts of added sugar or saturated fats.  Make sure you are looking at all of the ingredients in what you are eating, don’t just fall for the “high fiber” marketing slogan on the wrapper or box.
