O plantă pe care mulți o smulg din grădină poate avea o utilizare surprinzătoare. În septembrie îi vine vremea • Newsweek România

Chicory, often seen as a weed, has surprising uses, particularly its root, which has been traditionally used for digestive issues. The plant blooms from July to September, with its root harvested in autumn for its inulin content. Historically valued for its medicinal properties, chicory's root can be dried and used to make a coffee substitute. Despite its common perception as a weed, chicory has a long-standing place in traditional medicine and household uses.
