Since its establishment in France in 1858 by Jean-Baptiste-Alphonse Leroux, Leroux has continued to earn international recognition for its chicory instant beverages. Chicory root is a completely natural food that has countless proven benefits, such as being high in fiber, helping to improve blood sugar levels, and supporting weight loss. Leroux has been growing and processing chicory with passion and expertise for more than 160 years. Its chicory drinks have a roasted and caramelized taste and are naturally caffeine-free, gluten-free, and a good source of fiber. These benefits make the brand’s beverages a qualified coffee alternative for the health-conscious consumer, especially if you are looking to lower your caffeine intake.
