Chicory Catalogna Puntarelle. Tall open plant, white stems and thin green leaves. It is mostly stem with very little leaf. Technique is to soak it in cold water first (stems curl & also become more mild). Very popular with chefs of high-end Italian restaurants. Amazing in a salad. 10 gram packet. Approximately 600-900 seeds per gram.

David Coon This is an excellent chicory. It’s the stems here not the leaves. Blanched for a few minutes and dressed with a lemon vinaigrette or lemon oil and Maldon salt it makes great salad. Hardy, it sometimes winters over in S. Oregon.

Shopify Last year was my first year growing this Chicory. I planted late spring and I had decent plants by early summer. I was expecting this to be a stem chicory (it is not) so I waited and waited. Eventually I did make a roman salad with the leaves. It was ok but the plant was starting to bolt by then. This year I am going to try starting it later to in matures towards the fall.
