Chicory - Catalogna Gigante di Chioggia (SM4.32)

Leaf chicory best used as a delicious sautéing green. Catalogna Gigante di Chioggia - also known as dandelion greens - is an open leaf chicory type which is similar to wild chicory.

The leaves make some of the best sautéing greens around, sweet with a slight bitter edge. They can be blanched in salty water to remove some of the bitterness if desired. Drain and fry up with garlic and chilli for a truly delicious side dish.

More forgiving to grow than some other chicory/radicchio types. (Approximate seed count - 100)
