Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Chicory

  • Metabolic Effect: Chicory, with its low calorie content, aids in weight management, while its high fiber content regulates the digestive system and provides a feeling of fullness. It supports bowel movements, preventing constipation.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can add it raw to your salads or consume it lightly sautéed. Consuming it with yogurt or kefir can increase your probiotic intake.
  • Things to Consider: Excessive consumption may cause gas and bloating. People with goiter disease should be careful when consuming it. 100 grams of chicory is approximately equal to 1 small bowl.
  • Exercise Equivalent: A light 7-minute walk will be sufficient to burn 23 calories. Thanks to this low calorie content, it is an ideal option for diets.
