When Elsy talks about chicory roots, people often look at us with wide eyes... Surely we've all seen a box of chicory in our grandmothers' closet ☕️
And yes, that's what we use in our confectionery to replace sugar!! It is a magical ingredient with prebiotic properties that is full of benefits.
Here are some good reasons to eat chocolate...ELSY 😉
Chicory is a plant whose leaves can be eaten (like endives for example) but it is in the roots that we find the many fibers essential to our health.
At Elsy, we use chicory roots to extract inulin: a dietary fiber with sweetening power that we use to replace sugar in our chocolate!
Result: our products contain less than 1% added sugar.
This is called smart greed.
In addition to its sweetening power, chicory root is rich in fiber!
