Definition
The plural of chicory, a plant with blue flowers whose roots are used as a coffee substitute or whose leaves are eaten as a salad green.
Etymology
From Old French 'chicorée,' from Latin 'cichorium,' which came from Greek 'kichóra.' The word traveled through multiple languages as the plant's usefulness spread across cultures.
Kelly Says
Chicory has a secret life—its roots were roasted and used as a coffee stretcher during wartime and poverty, but today high-end chocolate makers add it for depth, and the leaves are a trendy superfood showing how forgotten 'poverty foods' become gourmet ingredients.
