What it is
Chicory root extract comes from the roasted root of the chicory plant. The root is dried, roasted, and then extracted with water to create a liquid or powdered form.
Why it's used
It is often used as a source of dietary fiber, particularly inulin, which can act as a prebiotic. Manufacturers also use it to add a coffee-like flavor and bitterness to foods and beverages, and sometimes as a low-calorie sweetener or bulking agent.
Health notes
Chicory root extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Its main component, inulin, is a soluble fiber that may support gut health. JECFA has evaluated chicory root and its components. Some people may experience digestive discomfort, such as gas or bloating, from consuming large amounts of inulin.
Allergen info
Chicory root extract is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
