Azure now has organic roasted chicory (yay). Thank you for the recipe!

It’s fine, I just find the one I linked to be a richer, fuller flavor. I also prefer to order organic, when possible. Azure doesn’t offer this in organic.

I’d say it’s kind of middle of the road when it comes to potential bitterness. I hate bitter coffee, but love a nice mellow espresso in my latte… chicory, for me, falls in between. But if you’re die hard against even slight bitterness I’m thinking you won’t be a big chicory fan.

Well, yes, that link is the plant I grow BUT the plant they show is grown in an alternate way… I’m not even sure how, but somehow folks force it to grow under curated circumstances to get those endives shown at the link. No, if you plant it in your garden and let it grow naturally you get a tall slightly bushy chicory plant with blue daisy-like flowers (the same chicory you can spot in the wild, along the side of a road). BUT the tops ARE edible on the chicory in my garden… I don’t eat it though… but our pigs love it.

For the long to the chicory that you are growing do you harvest the roots for the tea??? I thought it would be a different plant. Bonus If I get both salad and tea.

I’m so glad you’re loving it!! (thanks for letting me know!) And YES I too have been cutting back on caffeine and couldn’t agree more
