Chicory
From LoveToKnow 1911
CHICORY. The chicory or succory plant, Cichorium Intybus (natural order, Compositae), in its wild state is a native of Great Britain, occurring most frequently in dry chalky soils, and by road-sides.

 


The beauty of chicory is that it requires very little preparation and there is almost no wastage. To enjoy it at its best, buy chicory when the leaf tips are yellow, if it has green tips it is likely to be too bitter for salads.
