Chicory root (Cichorium intybus) is a perennial herb that grows in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, often found in roadside areas, fields, and gardens. The plant features bright blue flowers, jagged green leaves, and a long taproot, which is the part used in herbal medicine. Traditionally, chicory root has been valued for its digestive benefits and is rich in inulin, a soluble fiber that supports gut health. Indigenous peoples and traditional herbalists have long utilized chicory for its potential to alleviate digestive disorders and as a coffee substitute, especially during times when coffee was scarce. Its use dates back to ancient Egypt and has continued through various cultures for its health-promoting properties.*
