Frisée Endive, a member of the chicory family, is a visually striking leafy green with frilly, finely cut leaves that offer a slightly bitter yet refreshing flavor. The loose, bushy heads grow 8-12 inches in diameter, featuring curly darker green outer leaves and tender, pale-yellow inner leaves. The yellow color in Frisée is often obtained by blanching in the field by having heads tied up to exclude light, which reduces bitterness and gives the inner leaves their tender texture. Perfect for adding texture and a hint of bitterness to salads, frisée can also be lightly sautéed or braised Frisee is popular in French cuisine, and is a key ingredient in the classic salad "Salade Lyonnaise," which combines frisée with lardons, poached eggs, and a warm vinaigrette. Simply wash and trim the leaves, then toss them into fresh salads, pair them with bold dressings, or add them as a garnish for an elegant touch.
Also Known As: Frisee Endive, Frisee Chicory, Frizzy Lettuce, Bitter Curly Chicory.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
In the Spring, plant after all danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in raised beds spaced 8 inches apart. Space the rows 18 inches apart or spaced about 2-3 feet apart if growing with other plants. Planting in moist soil is best for seeds to germinate and emerge quickly.
