The photographs show common chicory and large nasturtium.<\/h4>\n
Common chicory – Cichorium intybus L. The ancient Greeks and Romans used chicory leaves (endive) to prepare spicy salads. In 1600, in Prussia, chicory root is used to make a substitute for coffee. In Russia, chicory was used as a medicinal plant in the 17th century, as a salad in the 18th century, and later as a coffee substitute.<\/h4>\n
Large nasturtium – Tropaeolum majus L. The name of the plant comes from the Latin word ‘trophae’ – trophy, by the helmet-shaped flower and thyroid leaves. Nasturtium is used in cooking. Salads are made from young leaves and flowers. Flower buds and green fruits are pickled or salted, used as a substitute for capers.<\/h4>\n
