The leaves are similar to dandelion greens, and the root is dried, roasted and added to beverages. The French added it to coffee to subdue the stimulating effects of caffeine. Thomas Jefferson used the plant for ground cover, livestock fodder and salad greens. Chicory grows wild throughout North America, but was introduced in colonial times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA perennial plant, Chicory is found in gardens and in the wild throughout Europe and the United States. The long taproot and stems contain a milk-like, bitter fluid. Reaching heights from 3 to 5 feet, the bristled, rigid branches have dandelion shaped leaves, bright blue ray flowers and tiny brown seeds. Blooms appear as early as March in temperate climates, and from June through October elsewhere. Root harvesting is recommended form March through May.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"font-semibold\"\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvoid long-term or high consumption of this herb if you have a history of gallstones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This product and its benefits have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
