When I saw this kind of vegetable for the first time, I thought it was a pickle, but it looked yellow and a little strange. A good-looking one would cost about 80 yuan a jin. Later, I learned that it is called chicory, and it is a best-selling high-grade vegetable in Europe and the United States. It is rare and difficult to buy, but the price is really high-end!

The edible part of chicory is fleshy bud balls, which is nutritious, tender and juicy, crisp and tender, and can be eaten directly with raw food, of course, cold salad or salad taste is better, but also can be stewed and fried to eat.

Chicory is rich in nutrition, it contains protein content as high as 22.87%, which also contains a lot of fat, amino acids, vitamins, carotene and calcium, more nutritious than eggs.

It is also a vegetable for both medicine and food, the root of chicory is used medicinally, and it also has the medicinal effects of heat-clearing and detoxification, diuresis and detumescence, tonifying stomach and gallbladder, relieving alcohol and weight loss. Chicory root tea made from chicory root also has a good health effect and is the nemesis of gout.

Chicory is a perennial herb of Compositae, which is highly resistant to stress, cold and drought. It is distributed at home and abroad in sunny fields, hillsides and other places.

It has been listed as "medicine and food homology" food by the Ministry of Health, and praised as the green "king of health" by the National Nutrition Alliance.

However, after all, the amount of wild chicory is small, and now it is possible to plant chicory artificially or in pots, and there are few diseases and insect pests during the growing period.
