Thanks to its unique nutty flavor, gourmet chicory recipes are innumerable.

The roots are sliced, kiln-dried, roasted, ground, and added to coffee, imparting a nutty, slightly bitter taste and dark color.

5 oz. chicory, washed and shredded
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup Caerphilly cheese, grated

The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Chicory, 'The dried, above-ground parts and/or roots' for 'Loss of appetite, dyspepsia. Side Effects: In rare cases, allergic skin reactions.'

'Average daily dosage: 3 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut herb for teas, as well as other bitter-tasting preparations for internal uses. Action: Mildly choleretic.'

Chicory works by increasing the flow of bile into the digestive tract, and is therefore an appetite stimulant and digestive aid, and is so recognized by contemporary scientific herbalism.

Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Enormous quantities of the plant are cultivated on the Continent, to supply the grocer with the ground Chicory which forms an ingredient or adulteration to coffee. In Belgium, Chicory is sometimes even used as a drink without admixture of coffee. For this purpose, the thick cultivated root is sliced, kiln-dried, roasted and then ground. It differs from coffee in the absence of volatile oil, rich aromatic flavour, caffeine and caffeotannic acid, and in the presence of a large amount of ash, including silica.'

'When infused, Chicory gives to coffee a bitterish taste and a dark colour. French writers say it is contra-stimulante, and serves to correct the excitation caused by the principles of coffee, and that it suits bilious subjects who suffer from habitual constipation. Chicory has properties similar to those of Dandelion, its action being tonic, laxative and diuretic.'

King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Tonic, diuretic, and laxative. The decoction, used freely, is said to have proved efficient in jaundice, engorgement of the liver, and other chronic visceral diseases, as well as in cutaneous eruptions, gout, hectic fever, etc. An ounce of the root to a pint of water forms a good decoction. It is used as an adulterant of coffee.'
