Maraichere Tres Fine Endive
24 days to baby leaf
42 days to full heads harvest
Cichorium endivia
We adore this crunchy and succulent green with a satisfying, subtle bitterness that adds diversity, loft & divinity to any salad. Its fine leaf serrations are exquisitely delicate; its dark green outer leaves perfectly blanch themselves in its sweet, tender heart. Historically popular in Europe, we are thrilled that North Americans have discovered and are coveting salads beyond lettuce! Easy to grow throughout the season, Tres Fine Frisee endive is especially robust and sweet in the spring and fall and even overwinters for delicate salads when the snows melt.
