QuoteRebecca Silverwolf - 6/15/2011 10:09 PMI was looking for chicory awhile back, and the only places I found selling it were online. Trader Joe's did not carry it.
QuoteRebecca Silverwolf - 6/15/2011 7:50 PMI was doing a New Orleans themed food night, and picked up some ground coffee that had Chicory added.Historically, it was used by the poor to help stretch their coffee supply, and is still popular in Louisiana. It can be brewed on it's own as a caffeine free coffee substitute, or added to coffee in whatever proportion you like. Typically it's used with a dark French roast, up to about a 50/50 proportion.
