ChicoryCichorium IntybusThe roots of this
plant are dried and roasted to be used as a coffee amendment or
substitute. A native of the British Isles, chicory has
been naturalized all over the world. It flowers at two to three
feet tall. Chicory, with sugar beet and rye was used as an ingredient of the East German Mischkaffee (mixed coffee), introduced during the 'coffee crisis' of 1976-1979. Some beer brewers use roasted chicory to add rich flavor to their stouts. Each packet contains one gram of seeds.
