The roasted root is commonly used as an additive in stout beers and specialty coffees in India, Africa, and Asia. In the U.S., it's often used as an alternative to coffee. Chicory root comes from a plant with bright blue flowers and is a member of the dandelion family. It has been used for centuries in cooking and traditional medicine, and is known for its similar taste and color to coffee. The root's fiber is said to have many health benefits and is frequently extracted for use as a food additive or supplement.
