Chicory root
Chicory root (Cichorium intybus) is a **composite family (Asteraceae) allergen**, rarely triggering IgE-mediated reactions (e.g., oral allergy syndrome, contact dermatitis, or respiratory symptoms). Cross-reactivity with ragweed, mugwort, or sunflower seeds is possible. Inulin, a chicory-derived fiber, is generally non-allergic but may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.
