Chicory (Cichorium intybus)

Chicory, also known as chicory, is an annual to biennial plant of medium size that grows in meadows, pastures, roadsides and barren sandy places. Its other names include chicory, chicory, traveler's chicory and others. This plant belongs to the star family and is known for its blue flowers, which appear from June to September. The plant has a spindle-shaped, deeply extending root that is particularly valued for its uses.

Chicory is mainly used in food and medicine. It is from the dried and roasted root of this plant that a coffee substitute, so-called German coffee, is produced. This coffee substitute was particularly popular in periods when real coffee was difficult to find, for example in wartime. Even today, however, German coffee is still sought after by many people because of its special taste and lower caffeine content. In southern Europe, the chicory root is also used to make 'chicory liqueur'. In medicine, chicory is used especially for its diuretic and bilious effects.
