Chicory

/ˈtʃɪk.ə.ri/ noun

Definition

A plant with blue flowers that is often used to make a coffee substitute, or whose roots and leaves can be eaten as a vegetable.

Etymology

From Old French 'chicorée,' derived from Greek 'kikoria,' possibly from Arabic or Persian origins. The plant has been used medicinally and as food for thousands of years across Mediterranean regions.

Kelly Says

During the American Civil War and in New Orleans, chicory was mixed with coffee to stretch limited supplies — New Orleans coffee is STILL made with chicory, and locals swear it's superior! It went from a wartime necessity to a proud tradition.
