Productinformation
Endive variety Nuance seeds (Cichorium endivia)
It is a leafy vegetable that belongs to the same family as chicory, which explains its slightly bitter taste. The method of growing and harvesting is comparable to salads. You can enjoy it raw in mashed potatoes and salads, or boiled, which is a popular way of cooking it. However, there are now many exciting recipes available that incorporate endive, such as stuffed endive rolls, savory pies, and oven dishes.
Sowing and harvesting
- Start indoors/under cover in late February or March for an early harvest
- Sow seeds in trays in mid to late summer for an extended autumn and winter harvest
- Harvest outer leaves regularly or grow on to harvest full hearts
- Start seeds in cd60/cd15/cd30 trays or 40 or 77 cell trays
Growing advice
- Nuance tends to be more bolt resistant
- You can grow endive in summer but you will have to harvest plants early to prevent flowering
