Chicory, also known as blue dandelion and ragged sailors, is an attractive wayside simple that is native to Europe and now naturalized in North America. For centuries, its long taproot has been harvested to make a hot beverage, especially during times when coffee beans were scarce.

Chicory root naturally contains oligofructose and inulin, two forms of soluble fiber that are classified as prebiotics. Prebiotics serve as a food source for beneficial microorganisms that are commonly found in the gut and are widely studied for their role in supporting a balanced microbiome. Chicory is especially well known for its inulin content and is recognized as one of the richest natural plant sources of this soluble fiber. Because of this, chicory root is frequently used in food products, beverages, and dietary formulations where inulin is desired.


Background: Chicory was cultivated in ancient Egypt for its culinary and medicinal qualities, and is mentioned in ancient Greek literature. The leaves are similar to dandelion greens, and the root is dried, roasted and added to beverages. The French added it to coffee to subdue the stimulating effects of caffeine. Thomas Jefferson used the plant for ground cover, livestock fodder and salad greens. Chicory grows wild throughout North America, but was introduced in colonial times.

Description: A perennial plant, Chicory is found in gardens and in the wild throughout Europe and the United States. The long taproot and stems contain a milk-like, bitter fluid. Reaching heights from 3 to 5 feet, the bristled, rigid branches have dandelion shaped leaves, bright blue ray flowers and tiny brown seeds. Blooms appear as early as March in temperate climates, and from June through October elsewhere. Root harvesting is recommended form March through May.
