Worldwide Botanicals French Roasted Chicory Root, 1 lb Pack of 2 — Caffeine-Free, Prebiotic Inulin

Worldwide Botanicals French roasted chicory root is a 100% caffeine-free, acid-free roasted root you can brew like coffee or blend with your beans for a smoother cup.

This roasted chicory comes from sustainably harvested northern French roots and is prepared as an all-purpose grind that works in drip machines, French press, espresso, or steeped like tea. Naturally rich in inulin, a plant-based prebiotic fiber, the product offers a coffee-like aroma and roasted flavor without caffeine, with kosher and gluten-free certifications. Imported regularly from small French roasters, the chicory keeps a long shelf life and resists rancidity the way coffee can.

How does this chicory root alter the taste and strength of coffee?

Add chicory to coffee to deepen roastiness while reducing perceived acidity and caffeine intensity. It adds a toasty, slightly nutty flavor that rounds out bright or overly acidic brews without hiding the coffee’s character.

• Mix ratios: start 1 part chicory to 3 parts coffee, adjust to taste.
• Enhances body and mouthfeel for lighter roasts.
• Works with espresso, drip, and French press extraction methods.

Can I brew this chicory on its own and how should I prepare it?

Yes — the grind is versatile and brewed much like ground coffee or steeped like a strong herbal tea. Use standard coffee-to-water ratios, then modify steep time and strength to your preference.

• Drip/French press: use same scoop as coffee and steep 3–5 minutes for full flavor.
• Espresso-style: pack and tamp for concentrated, espresso-like shots.
• Steeped: simmer or steep in hot water, then strain through a mesh filter.
