By Doris Thomas Lancaster Home Economist CHICORY: ACOFFEE SUBSmTUTE? If you’re looking for a way to beat the rising costs of coffee and still satisfy your taste buds, chicory could be an answer. Coffee with chicory has been served in Europe and parts of the United States for years. You can even cultivate chicory in home gardens. Roasted and ground chicory is available in your specialty and health food stores and costs about $1.50 to $1.75 a pound. Pure food laws prevent a commercial mix of coffee and chicory or any other additive, unless the label is clearly marked. Extension specialists at the Pennsylvainia Sate University representing foods and nutrition and consumer management, conducted some taste ac ceptability tests using chicory alone and in com bination with regular coffee. Based on these experiments, they offer the following YOU ARE INVITED TO OUR ANNUAL Christian Education Seminar and Vacation Bible School Workshop FRIDAY, MARCH 18,1977 5:30 p.M. • 10:00 p.«.

Fer A Ceepkte hre§r*i UR er WHie Provident Bookstore 40 Best Km§ Street Leneester, Pa. 17604 ta 397-3517 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 12,1977 suggestions for using chicory as a coffee substitute: Try a mixture of four parts ground coffee to one part chicory to begin with. Then keep increasing the chicory to find the blend you like best. Chicory flavor is strong, so also try decreasing the amount of grounds used per pot. Brewing chicory as you would tea results in an ac ceptable but different - tasting hot beverage. The aroma could also be a deterrent. Perked chicory used in the same proportions as recommended for coffee, was not acceptable in flavor or aroma. But using half as much chicory as called for is acceptable. No evidence exlsis mat chicory contains caffeine; therefore, it would not provide the stimulation coffee does. Chicory does have some laxative effect, however. TIPSONGROWING CHICORY- A COFFEE SUBSTITITE Using chicory as a coffee substitute has real possibilities. Home gar deners can even grow their own as it is a plant native to Pennsylvania. Extension specialists at Penn State University working in foods and nutrition and horticulture, say the chicory plants grow wild through die state. But they don’t recommend harvesting the wild plants for several resons. Aside from the important fact that harvesting chicory involves destroying the plant to use the roots, there is added risk of additional, possible toxic additives such as exhaust fumes, rubber residue, and pesticide sprays. Inex perienced persons may also incorrectly identify the plant and get one that is not chicory and not edible. A better alternative to economic coffee substitutes is growing chicory in your home garden. It’s an easy plant to grow and requires a deep, rich, loamy soil. The garden variety has several common names: Witloof chicory, French endive, and Belgium endive. Seeds for growing chicory are available from many commercial seed producers. Generally, the seed packets contain specific growing instructions. Chicory leaves are also edible and recommended for use in salads or blanched as a vegetable green. The leaves are high in vitamins A and C. In late Summer or Fall after the leaves of the plant have been harvested, roots can be dug. Scrub roots well, chop in small pieces and roast them in the oven until they are hard and coffee - colored. Roasted pieces can then be ground to the con sistency of coffee grounds. Ground and roasted chicory is also available at many health food and specialty stores.
