Cichorium endivia
Parent cultivé de la chicorée ; les feuilles sont consommées comme verdure amère en salade ; possède des propriétés toniques pour le foie et la digestion.
Cichorium endivia (endive) is a bitter leafy green from the Asteraceae family, traditionally used as a digestive tonic and liver support. Its primary active compounds include inulin (a prebiotic fiber), lactucopicrin (a bitter principle), and flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol. Modern evidence supports its use as a prebiotic, digestive stimulant, and hepatoprotective agent.
Inulin acts as a prebiotic, selectively stimulating beneficial gut bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacteria) and improving bowel regularity. Lactucopicrin activates bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) on the tongue and in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing gastric acid secretion, bile flow, and digestive motility. Quercetin and kaempferol exert antioxidant effects via Nrf2 pathway activation and anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2, contributing to hepatoprotection. Additionally, these flavonoids may modulate phase I and II liver detoxification enzymes, supporting overall hepatic function.
