Chicory Fine de Louviers (Cichorium Endivia)
Old variety, with fine and entirely cut foliage. This chicory with crunchy leaves forms a tight rosette with a well-provided heart, whitening on its own. It can be eaten raw, in salads or cooked. Undemanding, it adapts well to different growing conditions.
