What is chicory anyway?
Chicory is a pretty perennial plant with periwinkle flowers that open and close at the same time each day.
It’s easy to spot in North America and throughout Europe.
The plant is thought to be one of the oldest recorded crops.
It’s native to northern Africa, western Asia, and Europe.
Apparently ancient Egyptians knew it was worth their time and cultivated it as well.
Chicory coffee has a similar flavor to coffee but is derived from a roasted chicory root.
