Vegetables - Endive Seeds
Endives are a leafy vegetable in the Cichory family that are grown as a green. They are well adapted to the cool season, and some can even tolerate a bit of frost. They are generally thought to be bitter, but some of the varieties that we offer like Sugar Loaf are changing that perception. If you like a lot of texture in your greens, you might try some with curly leaves like Green Curled Ruffec. As with lettuce, we also have red varieties like Rossa Di Verona to add color to your fresh green salads. Endive seeds can be a little more challenging to grow, but if you have a green thumb, it is worth a shot!

Cichorium intybus
Developed by Italians in the 1950s, this "radicchio" boasts striking ruby leaves that form a solid round head. Add this to a green salad or a gourmet casserole for distinct color and flavor. Northerners will enjoy planting this variety because it thrives in cooler weather. Endive makes an excellent fall crop because light frost sweetens it, but extreme heat causes bitterness or bolting.
