Chicory Variegata di Castelfranco
Chicory seeds - Variegata di Castelfranco
A wonderfully decorative chicory with green leaves blotched red and forming an inner loose head of red and white in autumn. An ancient variety developed in the 18th century in the Castelfranco region of Northern Italy. One of the best for eating quality.
In the UK the name Radicchio is used to describe the red and variegated leaved chicories which are relatively new here. Suffolk Herbs introduced Radicchio many years ago and they have really gained in popularity. Radicchio are not only an indispensable new flavour in salad but their beautiful red and pink inner leaves form a most decorative garnish.
