Chicory Root 12 Pack

Twelve 600g bottles — 348 servings of single-ingredient chicory root syrup at $0.45 a serving. That is 42% less per serving than buying one bottle at a time, and each tablespoon still carries 11g of dietary fiber, 39% of the Daily Value, with 0g of added sugars.

The value, plainly

For comparison, a 12oz can of prebiotic soda runs about $2.50 and contains around 9g of fiber. This is 11g for 45 cents.

Who buys twelve bottles

• Households where more than one person uses it. Two people at a tablespoon a day get through a bottle every two weeks.
• Cafés and coffee shops — it dissolves straight into cold drinks, which granulated sugar does not.
• Offices and gyms stocking a shared pantry.
• People who have simply stopped wanting to reorder. At one tablespoon a day this is roughly a year.

Do not start here. If you have not used chicory root syrup before, buy a single bottle. It is less sweet than sugar and it does not suit everyone — particularly anyone with IBS or on a low-FODMAP diet, since inulin is a fructan.

What is in it

Chicory root. One ingredient, twelve bottles.

Per 1 tablespoon (21g), 29 servings per bottle. At 39% DV it meets the FDA threshold for “excellent source of fiber”.

Common questions

Is it certified organic?
No. We are not USDA organic certified and we do not use the word. If you find an older listing that says otherwise, it is out of date.

Is there anything cheaper per serving?
Yes — the 45lb bucket works out to about $0.28 a serving. It is food-service packaging rather than bottles, so it suits kitchens more than kitchens counters.

How should staff or family members start?
Half a tablespoon a day for the first week. 11g is a large single addition and inulin is fermented by gut bacteria — going too fast is uncomfortable and avoidable.

No one is perfect. Just have good balance.
