About this product
What Chicory Root (Kasni) Coffee is
Chicory root, kasni in Urdu, is dried and ground to make a dark, slightly bitter drink that tastes a little like coffee. It contains no coffee beans and no caffeine. Some people mix it half and half with regular coffee. Jar kasni qahwa is a popular swap for people who want to cut back on coffee. The root naturally contains inulin, a plant fibre that feeds the good bacteria in the gut, with traces of potassium, phosphorus, folate, manganese and vitamins B6 and C. In desi and Unani practice kasni is traditionally taken to support the liver and digestion. Its fibre may help you feel full for longer, which can help with weight loss, and it is also taken to support brain function and to ease the joint aches of osteoarthritis.
- How to use
- Add about 1 teaspoon per cup to water just off the boil and steep for 5 minutes, or simmer it gently for 3 minutes. Strain and drink it black or with milk. One or two cups a day suits most people. If you are easing off caffeine, mix it half and half with your usual coffee at first.
- Choosing a pack
- Sold as one sealed pack.
