Tasty greens, nice and bitter. Grew these as an experiment to see if I could sub them for escarole in recipes since these didn't require me to start them inside if I don't want to wait forever like with escarole. Happy to see that they sub nicely. A few even overwintered in zone 7 this year since it was mild and are now producing more.
