Cichorium intybus var. intybus
Chicory
Chicory has beautiful blue aster like flowers. The leaves are edible with a slightly bitter flavour. The edible flowers add an attractive finish to a dish. Use the roots harvested in the winter for a coffee substitute. The high inulin content is good for diabetics. A terrific addition to a wildlife garden as an attractant for pollinators.
