How to Identify Chicory

Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a perennial plant with a beautiful blue flower, and has often been described as a coffee substitute. In my opinion, there is no substitute for coffee - coffee is coffee. Ground roasted chicory root can be added to coffee to make a tasty beverage, though! For more links see below.
