Chicory Witloof

Cichorium intybus - Family Compositae The parsnip-like roots are forced in darkness to produce white buds or "chicons" during winter. Either use raw in salad or cook by braising. Witloof chicory is not fussy about soil. Sow May - June and thin to about 22cm apart. Lift roots in October and expose to the air to stop growth. Cut off the foliage at the neck, dry off and store in a cool place. Then force them in a warm, dark place (i.e. in pots, cellars or put plastic over them). Useful for salads in winter when vegetables are scarce.
