Why Grow Chicory Seeds?
Chicory's distinct bitterness contrasts well with sweeter ingredients like tomatoes or fruit. Its leaves add depth and complexity to salads, while its roots can be roasted and ground to enjoy as an alternative to coffee. Roasting creates a delightfully nutty, toasty flavour that can’t compare to any other home-grown vegetables.
You can use forcing chicory, like our Chicory (Witloof) Zoom F1 Seeds, to grow chicons – a delicacy derived from potting dormant roots indoors in winter, and blanching the new leaves to block out sunlight. This process results in tender, tightly packed leaves, which are excellent raw or cooked.
By growing chicory seeds at home, you can enjoy this gourmet vegetable without paying the price tag it has in the supermarket. Sow in an open, sunny location in fertile soil, and water regularly during dry weather.
