CICHORIUM INTYBUS The roots of the Chicory are famous as a coffee substitute
especially in the Mediterranean as well as in India, parts of Southeast Asia and
southern United States, particularly in New Orleans. The root of the plant
is said to have medicinal value. It has a mild laxative effect, increases
bile production from the gallbladder, and decreases inflammation. It is also
rich in beta-carotene. Chicory root extract is high in a compound inulin,
a polysaccharide similar to starch, and is used as a high-fiber dietary
supplement. Also the volatile oils are said to be able to get rid of
intestinal worms. The leaves also can be eaten raw in salad. Common in
typical Roman recipes, where it is commonly fried with red pepper & garlic to
impart a slightly bitter yet spicy flavor to meat or potato dishes. The
flowers are usually blue and are very pretty.
