people to turn to chicory as a beverage
and it'Soon came into general use. T
So good was its taste, so rich was its
aroma that the new beverage at once be- !
came exceedingly popular with the good !
Dutch housewives who are known the I
world over for their ability as cooks. - j
After _ the war wheel ample supply of I
coffee could be secured, the Hollaniers
were loath to give up their chicory. As
a result they blended coffee and chicorv :
and produced the good old Dutch coffee '
now served in nearly all hotels, restau-
rants and homes in Europe.
Not only did this blend produce that
rich aroma and flavor, but it was found !
that chicory counteracted the bad effects !
of straight coffee Those who found ordi- j
nary coffee,injurious drank the corabina- ,
tion and it proved both refreshing “tel;
healthful.
Thus it is seen that chicory has been ;
Used for centuries in Europe, where it is 1
regarded as a necessary addition to cof- I
fee. ■ • —
Americans began using chicory as soon ‘
as they realized it was put on the mar-
ket to improve the quality of coffee and
not in any spirit of dishonesty. Fortu-
nately the new United States pure food
law requires all makers to state on their
packages what the contents are and this
protects the buyer ’from all substitutes
for pure coffee and pure chicory and in- !
sures a grade equal to that from which j
the iSfd-fashioned Dutch beverage is made.
Through our foreign born citizens so j
consistently demanding it. *the merits of
chiqory have become known by word of i
mouth until those who have heretofore
beeh; disappointed in securing the rich,
full coffee flavor in 'their morning bever-
age have found * that by buying coffee
mixed with chicory, they secure the exact
combination they have been seeking.
