Chicory Syrup – natural sweetener with fibre and no added sugar
Sweeten your food and drinks naturally
Chicory root syrup is an exception in many ways compared to other syrups. It is made using a gentle method from chicory root and has a pleasantly sweet taste and thick consistency.
Syrup (almost) sugar‑free?
Exactly ✔️
Chicory root syrup contains only 6% sugar, a high proportion of fibre and a low glycaemic index - so it won't cause a blood sugar spike like regular sucrose.
69% fibre for normal digestion
High fibre (inulin) content benefits the digestive system. Inulin is not absorbed in the small intestine, but travels to the large intestine, where it serves as food for beneficial bacteria. A daily intake of at least 12 g of chicory inulin can contribute to normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency.
Gentle, High‑Quality Production
Using enzymatic hydrolysis instead of traditional roasting ensures a consistently smooth texture and premium quality.
You won't find a more functional and versatile sweetener
Thanks to its sweet taste and excellent nutritional values, chicory syrup is an absolutely phenomenal sweetener for every kitchen. Add it to your morning coffee, or use it in baked treats, sauces, or anywhere else you like.
