Wetsel Seed™ Endive Green Curled Ruffec Seed

Description

Hardy and cold resistant Italian variety that produces deeply cut dark green leaves that have thick, white midribs and are very tufted. As the plants grow the outer leaves can be harvested leaving the center to continue to grow. The fine frilly leaves are succulent and delicious with a pleasant, mildly bitter flavor, typically a little more bitter than broadleaf varieties. The hearts can blanche to creamy white if leaves are tied the last 3 weeks of growth. Adds a tasty and unusual punch to salads.
