Chicory root (Cichorium intybus), a member of the Asteraceae (daisy) family, is a hardy perennial herb native to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. While widely recognized as a robust, caffeine-free coffee substitute popularized during 19th-century European coffee shortages, it remains a cornerstone of traditional herbalism for its "bitter" properties and dense concentration of prebiotic fiber.
