Thank you so much for sharing your story @delishtreats! Bitter is really important for our wellness and the North American diet is very lacking in this area. I've just written a post on making digestive bitters that I'll be posting today.

A few years ago before I started growing my own I was able to order roasted chicory root on-line in a reasonable sized bag. I am sure you'll have no trouble finding some pre-roasted. We didn't grow nearly enough this year so I might even have to order more later in the winter.

Thanks so much for the encouragement, I really appreciate it!
