What is Chicory Root Extract ?

Extracted through a natural hot water process, this product is 100% vegetable. Our chickory root extract (inulin) is highly soluble and of premium quality, a natural food ingredient that is high in fibre and diabetic safe.
Chickory Root Extract is a prebiotic ....Healthy bacteria in the form of intestinal flora flourish naturally in the gastrointestinal system, where they limit the ability of harmful bacteria to multiply and thrive. But as we age, when we encounter stress or when we ingest antibiotics, the populations of these good bacteria tend to diminish inside the body, leaving humans more vulnerable to gastrointestinal disorders and disease. By consuming prebiotic and probiotic bacterial-growth enhancers, one replenishes the needed supplies of the “good guys.”
In addition to maintaining a healthy digestive system, researchers are investigating prebiotics’ role in a host of other health benefits.
Grown along the Nile River for thousands of years and extensively throughout Europe, Chicory is a perennial, Old World herb having rayed flower heads with blue florets. Chicory is cultivated not only for its root but also for its heads of crisp, edible leaves used in salads.

Stevia with no aftertaste, clearing up the confusion between stevioside and RebA:

Many stevia consumers complain about an aftertaste caused by their stevia concentrate products. This unfortunate experience can be eliminated with a little knowledge learned regarding stevia There are large differences between stevia products. First in the variety of product, Stevia spoonable (white in color)...a blend of stevia concentrate and a bulking agent...quality depends on the ingredients used by the manufacturer...try to avoid those with more than two or three ingredients....HerbCare Supreme Spoonable has only two...high quality stevia concentrate and inulin derived from chicory.

There is also natural stevia powder (green) This is the whole stevia leaf ground up and has a strong aftertaste which cannot be removed...it is the most natural form of stevia with the most nutrient value however most people do not like the strong taste...it can also be acquired un-ground in a "tea" cut which is good for adding to herbal tea mixtures...

There is liquid stevia, a blend of stevia concentrate and water ...some manufacturers will add other ingredients be sure to check labels...you can make your own liquid at a fraction the cost of the pre-made by simply blending concentrate with warm purified water and adding to a dropper bottle...

...and then there is the pure Stevia Concentrate itself (white) ...the quality can vary hugely and this is where it becomes a little tricky...

Without getting to technical the basic reason is that within a stevia leaf there are four major sweetening components...one which is well known is stevioside...you will see some people boasting 80% stevioside in their product and may think this is a high quality powder but that is misleading...what you want to look for is a high content of Rebaudioside A...preferably 80% minimum...Of the four sweet components within the stevia leaf studies have proved Rebaudioside A has the sweetest , purest taste. It only makes up about 3-4% of the leaf...stevioside is approx 17% ...

Unfortunately stevioside is the most widely used in N. America because it is less expensive and more readily available. In Japan where stevia is consumed widely they use almost exclusively the Rebaudioside A leaving the more bitter stevioside to be used in pet food where the consumer (Fluffy, Fido, Spot etc) is not as concerned with aftertaste.

HerbCare Stevia Supreme Concentrate has a minimum Rebaudioside A content of 80%

...making it a clean, pure and incredibly sweet taste, (approx 300x the sweetness of sugar) .

When purchasing a stevia concentrate do not be fooled by claims of 80% or 90 % stevioside...to avoid disappointment in this wonderful, healthy and natural herb ask what the Rebaudioside A content is!

We offer only the highest Reb A content stevia...no aftertaste pure sweetness!
