Chicory Root

Botanical name: (Cichorium intybus)

Also Known As: Blue sailors, succory, coffee weed, or cornflower

Chicory root is most commonly used in a ground and roasted form as a coffee substitute or additive. It provides a naturally caffeine—free alternative to traditional coffee, and is a natural sedative. However, chicory root is also widely known for its cleansing and healing properties.

Chicory root contains the soluble dietary fiber insulin, which acts as a gentle laxative and promotes healthy bacteria in the digestive tract. It also acts as a mild diuretic, ridding the body of excess water and toxins, which reduces strain on the liver. Chicory root contains vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant and daily vitamin requirement.

Prepare a tea by pouring boiling water over 1 tablespoon of ground and roasted chicory root. Let steep for 5 to 7 minutes before straining and drinking. To mix with coffee, use a 2 parts coffee and 1 part chicory mixture and brew.
