Chicory Witloof Zoom F1 Seeds

Chicory Witloof Zoom F1 makes it easy to grow your own crisp winter chicons, with roots that need darkness but no covering with soil when forced. The tightly packed, pale leaves have the characteristic pleasantly bitter flavour that works beautifully with citrus, nuts and cheese in winter salads, or can be braised for a warming vegetable dish. Grow the roots outdoors through summer, then lift and force them in darkness for a fresh home-grown harvest during the colder months.
