Certified Organic Roasted Chicory Root Summary
Chicory is a larger relative of dandelions. Their large taproots have been used as a delicious coffee substitute for generations, especially during times when coffee wasn’t unavailable. Chicory is high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, and has the largest concentration of inulin of any plant that contains inulin.
Chicory Root ‘Coffee”
Our chicory root ‘coffee’ is delicious. Seriously! Skip the caffeine (you can do it!) and go for a healthy herbal substitute.
- Equal parts dandelion root and roasted chicory root.
- Filtered water.
- To make one regular sized cup of “coffee,” you’ll want to use 1/2 T of dandelion root and 1/2 T of roasted chicory root.
- Bring water just to a boil. Add your “coffee.”
- Let brew and do its thing for 5 minutes or so. Strain out the dandelion and chicory, leaving a lovely, rich, Earthy, fragrant cup of “Joe.”

This is a great product to put in your coffee or to make a tea. I think it cuts down the bitterness in coffee, even though they say it’s supposed to be a bitter root. It makes it more smooth tasting. As for tea, I just mix it in with some of my other favorite herbs. Let it steep for 10-15 mins. Great for the nervous system!

Got this herb to *TRY* to wean myself off the coffee. As always, love that Pronounce doesn’t make you buy pounds and pounds of herbs all at one time. Combined with cacao nibs for a little chocolate flavoring, this is delish.
