Cichorium intybus - Chicory. What can I tell you about this guy? Well, inulin, an extract of Chicory root, happens to be a good source of dietary fiber and just this year the United States FDA approved it as a food additive to help people poop. Even more amazingly non-hydrolyzed inulin can also be directly converted to ethanol in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process! Also I like the colour.
