Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Chicory (Cichoriumintybus L.) belongs to the Asteraceae family. Because of its many uses, it is almost grown in all regions of the world. Its leaves and root are consumed as fresh or cooked vegetables and coffee substitute, respectively. All parts of the plant including roots, stems, leaves, and flowers get dry and are used as powder form in a variety of herbal medicines. Inulin is the main component of its root that has many food and medicinal uses. If its reproductive growth is not controlled, Chicory stems and fleshy roots can grow up to 2 m and 75 cm, respectively. Because of its excellent acclimation to different soils, drought, high or low temperatures and its resistance to diseases, wild chicory cultivation is very easy.
