Belgian Endive Trials
In 2004, Lynch Creek tested the feasibility of producing Belgian Endive - an
interesting biennial. Mature plants were topped and the roots dug and dried this
fall, and then vernalized (kept at a cold temperature) over the winter.
The roots will
then be re-planted and hydrated in darkness to produce delightful, white endive
heads in 2005.
We should have a limited supply available for trial by area chefs and
caterers in 2005.
September 2004
