The ancient Egyptians' herb in a caffeine-free cup
Chicory was already grown by the ancient Egyptians, who valued it as a salad vegetable, and it also had a good reputation in folk medicine. Today it grows in our part of the world too, along paths, on drier pastures and field edges. Its root, roasted at 140 °C, replaces coffee, a tradition known in the Netherlands since 1690. This chicory coffee with Jerusalem artichoke contains at least 30% inulin and is caffeine-free.
