We offer a complete range of 100% plant-based chicory ingredients with aromatic, colour, textural and nutritional properties. Chicory is principally used in hot drinks because of its taste and nutritional qualities. Chicory-based products are also ingredients of choice used by flavouring specialists and throughout the food industry. Together with our R&D department we would be happy to advise you on the best ingredient for your recipes.
Chicory is used to add appetising brown colours and flavours to ice creams, cakes, cream desserts, custard-style desserts, yogurts, etc.
Chicory flour can used as a substitute for emulsifiers and improves the softness, machinability, performance and keeping properties of cooked, raw and precooked frozen bakery products: speciality breads, pastries, biscuits, egg-based doughs, etc. It also allows a significant reduction in the use of salt.
Ingredients that have been roasted, such as chicory granules, are used to give bakery products an appetising brown colour.
