Description: Chicory is a perennial with a deep root system which is cultivated in gardens and found growing in the wild throughout Europe and the United States, it can also be found in North Africa and western Asia. It grows to a height of up to 1.5 metres and consists of ridged branching stems covered in coarse hairs, the leaves are dark green sometimes with red veins and ‘toothed’ resembling those of dandelion leaves. The flowers are between 2-4 centimetres in diameter and clear bright blue sometimes the flowers can be white or pink. Brief History: Chicory was cultivated in ancient Egypt for its culinary and medicinal qualities, and is mentioned by the ancient Greeks for much the same purposes. The French added it to coffee to subdue the stimulating effects of caffeine; during WWII roasted chicory root became a popular alternative to coffee which was hard to get during the shortages.
