Dandy Blend is a mix of roasted chicory and dandelion roots, that simulates coffee taste. The blend also contains roasted beets, barley and rye. All the ingredients in the mix are important sources of prebiotic fiber, so the final product is loaded with inulin and other prebiotics. In fact if you would eat that much fiber you would have some serious stomach cramps and bloating. However, during roasting, a lot of the inulin is converted into sugar, hence the beverage is a little sweet, most people wouldn't need any sugar.
