Chicory heads

Chicory heads
Key facts
Radicchio and Belgian endive are also types of chicory; the white colour of the leaves is produced by growing chicory underground or in the dark; the whiter the leaf, the less bitter the taste.

These are tight little buds of crunchy leaves, sometimes with pale-green edges, sometimes pink-edged.

They have a slightly bitter taste that calls for a flavourful dressing.
