Product Description

Belgian Endive Hollandse Middelvroeg has a delicious, slightly bitter taste. It's an organically grown variety. The heads are wonderfully full, white with a yellow top. Grow chicory on relatively poor soil with little fertilizer and little nitrogen. This is because the culture must go slowly and not too fast. Sow the seeds shallow in a sunny place with half shade.
Home-grown chicory is much tastier than the ones you can buy in the store. When pulling the heads it is important that this goes slowly. Grow the roots or pens in non-fertilized soil. The heads are large enough at the end of the winter. The heads are ready faster in a warmer place.

Use Chicory Hollandse Middelvroeg raw in salads, possibly with some fruit or baked and au gratin with ham and cheese or a cheese sauce. Chicory is also delicious in stews, stir-fries and as a separate vegetable. Do not boil chicory for too long to retain the structure. Chicory can also be cooked with a dash of milk to soften the bitter taste. Hardy perennial. Height: 40 - 50 cm.
