Escarole 'Diva' (Cichorium endivia) - Seed AS

(70 days) Broad-leafed Batavian type endive. Large, loose, green heads are a delicious addition to salad and also good braised or sautéed. Mild even in summer heat, its flavor develops to perfection in the late summer or autumn once nighttime temperatures cool. Diva’s broad leaves are sugary sweet with a tiny hint of bitterness; imagine juicy, sweet walnuts. In our winter CSA trials, we found it to hold quality through our harshest winters. Also makes delicious, large heads from spring plantings. It is an awesome escarole and a serious market farm performer. Foundation seed originally sourced from German biodynamic seed company, Bingenheimer Saatgut. 1 g ≈ 500 seeds
