For many, chicory coffee is associated with a cheap drink that people drank in Soviet times due to poverty and a scarce assortment of goods. But today everything has changed, and many, on the contrary, are carried away by this product. Chicory has been known since ancient times as a coffee substitute. And if you drank it before, because there was no normal coffee in stores, but now they drink it for love and with pleasure. It tastes completely similar to coffee, but does not contain caffeine. Therefore, it is drunk even by those for whom coffee is contraindicated. And today chicory can already be seen on counters with a "status" assortment of goods.
It should be noted that chicory contains many useful vitamins and minerals. It contains the main active substances like triterpenes. They are catalysts that normalize metabolic processes, which leads to a natural decrease in body weight.
