Suglarloaf Chicory

There’s been a recent resurgence in popularity for chicory as a salad ingredient, thanks to very mild varieties such as this one, which makes an upright cylindrical head. The pale green leaves are crisp and juicy, and as the name suggests, much less bitter than normal chicory. In Italy it is also steamed or boiled and used as a green vegetable as well as a salad.

A great winter salad addition.
