CHICORY EXTRACT

 The chicory plant is Cichorium intybus, is a hardy perennial with purplish-blue flowers that open and close at the exact same time each day. Chicory is common in North American and in Europe. Although chicory leaves are used in food (they are often known as endive, frise, escarole or radicchio), chicory's roots are the parts used to make 'chicory.' ore recently, chicory consumption has been associated with embargoes and cost cutting.
