{"product_id":"070100","title":"Chicory 'Grumolo Verde' 5g","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe smooth, dark green rosettes have a piquant taste with the familiar bitterness of radicchio and endive, and the tenderness of escarole.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis chicory is a widely used vegetable from bygone times in both Italy and France. Like many forgotten vegetables, this variety is enjoying a well-deserved comeback!\n\u003cbr\u003eThe deep green, loose heads are sown in rows, preferably directly at their final location or in soil blocks. Harvesting can be done from a very young age as spinach, even as a microgreen. For blanched cultivation, the plants need more space so that a good root can develop. You harvest the roots in stages in autumn and winter, cut off the green leaves (delicious in a mash), and place the root in the dark in a bucket or pot with some garden soil. The blanched loose leaves can be harvested for a long time and are wonderfully tender!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chicory family includes escarole, monk's beard, and various types of endive. Characteristic is the more or less present \"bitterness,\" formerly disliked and nowadays highly appreciated. Let a plant \"bolt\" sometime: chicory flowers are usually beautifully blue and smell of vanilla!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Cichorium intybus\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Groenlof\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso known as: Suikerbrood or Groenlof Pikantjes\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Chicory Sugar Loaf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"5 g","offer_id":44176185753653,"sku":"070100","price":2.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":44693579431989,"sku":"070100.1","price":11.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/070100.jpg?v=1750783761","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en-eu\/products\/070100","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
