Product description
Chicory "Zuckerhut" (Cichorium intybus L.)
Chicory is a very popular autumn-winter vegetable that, unlike Endive or Radicchio, has no bitterness. The 'Zuckerhut' variety has large, dense, full-leaf heads which are perfect for storage.
You can eat chicory fresh in the form of salads, but also try to blanch or steam it and serve it as a side dish. This variety has a very aromatic, slightly nutty flavour.
Chicory favours sunny to semi-shaded locations in humus-rich and loose soils.
