Polanowicka Coffee Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a biennial selected for fleshy roots. Chicory originated in Europe and western Asia and was brought to the Americas in the late nineteenth century.

The young leaves can be used in salads. Roots harvested in fall can be roasted and ground to make an earthy caffeine free coffee substitute. Leaves may be ready in about 60 days, while mature roots take about 120 days.
