Albert Lea

Chicory.
Chicory is used to make a substitute drink for coffee.
Some people call it blue sailors. The legend is that a beautiful maiden fell in love with a sailor who left for the sea. She waited patiently for his return. The gods, knowing that her lover had drowned, took pity on her and turned her into chicory and she still wears sailor-blue blossoms.
