Chicory

Cichorium intybus. Chicory is not typically classified as an heirloom variety, as it has been cultivated for many years and doesn't fall under the specific category of heirloom varieties that are passed down through generations in specific families or regions. However, there are heirloom varieties of chicory available, often used for culinary or medicinal purposes. So, while chicory itself isn't inherently an heirloom, you may find heirloom varieties within its broader category.
