Grown by ancient Egyptians and made famous by Italians in the Treviso region, this early-maturing chicory is a must-have for your cool season garden. Known for its striking ruby leaves with crisp white ribs, Red Treviso offers both beauty and flavor. Tender and balanced with a slight, pleasant bitterness. Perfect raw in salads, braised for a rich side dish, or grilled for a smoky twist.
