Mix Greens ‘Bitter is Better’ (Cichorium intybus & Cichorium endivia) – Seed AS

Inspired by the delightful Sagra di Radicchio in Seattle, we bring you Bitter Is Better! This seed blend is a celebration of the Cichorium family of delicious, sweet, bitter greens and includes a diverse selection of chicory, radicchio, escarole, and endive. Leaf types vary from frisée to broad-leafed, heads range from rosettes, to open-headed, to tightly wrapped, with colors across the full spectrum from golden-green to deepest dark red.

Suitable for either cut-and-come-again salad greens cultivation, or for a truly diverse assortment of head Cichorium. When these crops are young they are quite tender and mild — and almost entirely green! The red colors and robust flavors only develop as the plants mature and/or with cooler weather. Please have some patience with this mix and allow it to mature a bit prior to harvest. For best flavor, we recommend this mix for cool season production.
