Frontier Co-op Organic Roasted Chicory Root Granules 1lb - Chicory Root Coffee Substitute AlternativeUSDA Organic

Although I have only tried one other brand of chicory, I so like this brand. It is not expensive and the taste is satisfying. K cold brew it. I placea quarter cup of grounds into a filter bag, place that in a quart jar with cold water and let it sit on the counter for 24 hours. I then take out the filter bag, fill the jar with water to the top--to make-up for the displaced filter bag--and store it in the fridge. I can grab a cup anytime and heat it up, or drink it cold in summer time. It is a nice alternative to coffee, and has nutritional value. This is a good product.

Great taste and solid alternative to coffee! We mix 1 tbsp in with ground coffee and brew each morning - really good!

Excellent product, great taste, nicely ground

I tastes good

We can’t drink coffee, so switched to chicory. This doesn’t taste like coffee, IMO, but that’s just fine. It’s a great prebiotic and works well as our morning hot beverage. We make bulletproof chicory! Lol. Whip it up in the blender with collagen, ghee, Ceylon cinnamon and some monk fruit sweetener.

I like this product alone as a coffee substitute, but I LOVE it mixed with roasted dandelion root. I have a friend who uses 1 tsp. of each to make his "chicory/dandelion coffee". But I find the chicory so dense and strong that I've reduced it to 1/2 tsp. per whole tsp. of roasted dandelion root - for about 10 oz. water. I'm a big enthusiast of dandelion root for it's liver- and kidney-cleansing effects, and of chicory root for it's high inulin content - good for the gut! Oh, and this roasted chicory root made it easy for me to quit drinking coffee a year ago because it gives a robustness to my cup that dandelion root alone is missing. I lived in Italy for many years and was accustomed to espresso strength and density!At times I've run out of dandelion root, and made my "coffee" with 1 full tsp. chicory root per 10 oz. water. One could even imitate espresso by using chicory only and reducing the amount of water.A little of this goes a long way! Really enriches a cup of something hot. And the quality of this organic produce seems excellent.As much as I like this root, and enjoy it as a staple in my diet, I'm a little concerned because it seems to be staining my teeth. It certainly has stained the stainless steel saucepan in which I simmer it. Trying natural tooth whitening methods like oil pulling, brushing with a baking soda brine, sometimes rinsing with a few drops of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in a few ounces of water. Not sure whether it's the chicory staining my enamel, or rather that my enamel has become translucent. So I'm doing a remineralizing protocol too, for general tooth health..

Love chicory in my coffee!!

I have ordered this product three times. The chicory is good, but 2 times in a row the packaging has had a small slice. I don't want to use a product that could have been tampered with, not to mention I put it in a basket and chicory came out making a mess! I'm sure it was a razor that opened a larger box of these packages, but there's no way to know and the product is not returnable!! Won't buy again
