Many varieties are cultivated for salad leaves, chicons (blanched buds), or roots, which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and food additive. In the 21st century, inulin, an extract from chicory root, has been used in food manufacturing as a sweetener and source of dietary fiber. \u003cbr\u003eRoot chicory has long been cultivated in Europe as a coffee substitute. The roots are baked, roasted, ground, and used as an additive, especially in the Mediterranean region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLately, brewed chicory root is becoming popular as a coffee replacement.
