About Catalogna Garnet Endive
Catalogna Garnet is a striking Italian leaf chicory grown for its long, narrow leaves and deep red stems. The flavor is mildly bitter but smooth, especially when harvested young, making it well suited to both fresh salads and quick sautéed preparations. When lightly cooked, the bitterness softens and the leaves develop a tender texture that pairs well with simple seasonings.
Fast-growing plants perform best in cooler weather, producing steady harvests through fall, winter, and early spring in mild climates.
Why We Grow It
We grow Catalogna Garnet because cool-season gardens deserve more than just lettuce. Its rich color and gentle bitterness bring variety to winter harvests, thriving in California’s mild seasons while offering both fresh and cooked uses.
