Coffee is enjoyed for many reasons by many lovely people and that's because of: flavor, ritual, memories, emotion, and of course, the stimulation it delivers. But if you are ready to try something new and more beneficial for your body, chicory root may be just the alternative you’ve been waiting for.
Why Chicory Root?
Flavor. It’s deep, dark, roasted, rich - the closest to coffee flavor.
Some history. Chicory root has a long standing reputation as a cleansing medicinal herb. Ancient Romans used the root to help purify the blood. Ancient Egyptians also consumed the root to clean the blood and detoxify the liver. Medieval monks raised the plants and it is widely used in Europe. Even in southern states like New Orleans (Confederate soldiers drank it during the Civil War, getting in at the ports) it’s a coffee substitute.
