Chicory Flower

This cute little pendant represents the Wild Chicory flower which can be found in abundance along the hedgerows of the winding country roads along the Mediterranean coast.
 
Properties of the Chicory plant
The root is used as a substitute for coffee because of its similar flavor. Its mildly sedative effect is perfect for inducing relaxation, while its inulin content is said to boast probiotic effects and contribute to digestive health. Chicory root boasts antibacterial and anthelmintic properties as well as several other medicinal uses. It is also stuffed with many minerals and nutrients.
The Chicory flower, which also holds some of these properties can be sprinkled on your summer or spring salad.
