In the pioneer days/civil war days, dried and roasted dandelion and chicory roots were used to make coffee.Check it out. If we ever have a national problem with food for whatever calamity might happen, there is food all around us -growing wild. Chicory is a very easy to identify plant. I've harvested a bag of curly dock seeds to make flour. Haven't tried that one yet. lolbut if coffee goes very high for whatever reasons, or the democrats cause inflation to explode, the ability to save money will be important.I've posted elsewhere about dandelion tea, dandelion blossom fritters, as for any plant, having a definite proof of the identify of plants is important, some of themhave poisonous lookalikes. Many are easy and safe to find if you know what you are doing.You can download "Picture This" and "Seek" on your phones - a cross reference and ALSO knowing what to look for will help greatly.(btw, Picture This - has a subscription, if you don't want to try opening it twice before it opens the third time)).This is just a small example.https://www.wikihow.life/Make-Chicory-Coffee
