Mfundo yakuti chakumwa chochokera muzu wa chicory chaledzera m'malo mwa khofi, ndinaphunzira posachedwa. Nditawerenga momwe chicory ilili yothandiza, ndinadabwa kuti ndinali ndisanamvepo za izo.
Muzu wa chicory uli ndi 60% (youma kulemera) kwa inulin, polysaccharide yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pazakudya m'malo mwa wowuma ndi shuga. Inulin imalimbikitsa kuyamwa (kuyamwa kwa thupi lathu kuchokera pachakudya) cha calcium ndi magnesium, kumathandizira kukula kwa mabakiteriya am'matumbo. Amawerengedwa kuti ndi mtundu wosungunuka ndi akatswiri azakudya ndipo nthawi zina amakhala ngati prebiotic.
Muzu wa chicory uli ndi organic acid, mavitamini B, C, carotene. Pazifukwa zamankhwala, ma decoctions ndi ma tinctures ochokera ku mizu ya chicory amagwiritsidwa ntchito, omwe amawonjezera chidwi, amathandizira kagayidwe kachakudya, amachepetsa dongosolo lamanjenje, komanso amathandiza mtima. Mu wowerengeka mankhwala ntchito matenda a chiwindi, ndulu, ndi impso. Chicory ali ndi mphamvu zolimbitsa thupi.
Zikuoneka kuti chicory wakhala akugwiritsidwa ntchito kwa nthawi yaitali monga "wathanzi" m'malo mwa khofi, chifukwa sikuti amangokonda, komanso amatsitsimutsa m'mawa.
Chicory tsopano imapezeka m'mitundu yosiyanasiyana: ufa waposachedwa kapena tiyi wothira tiyi. Pali zakumwa ndi zitsamba zina ndi zokometsera zomwe zawonjezeredwa.
