Erect chicory plant with elongated, very serrated, glossy green leaves with white ribs. With this chicory, not only the tender and white leaves can be eaten, but also the shoots, which are similar to asparagus; can be eaten boiled, in salads, or in soups. They are picked while still tender, as they sprout. Sowing can be staggered at different times, to extend the growing to a long harvest season. UNTREATED
