Very popular in France, it is part of the herb mixture known as \"fines herbes,\" a mainstay of French cuisine. Often used to season egg, seafood, and vegetable-based dishes, it is also finding a home in specialty salad mixes, where it lends a wonderful flavor and texture. \"Vertissimo\" is selected for rapid re-growth after cutting, making it well suited to commercial production in addition to home-scale use—one of the most used herbs from our home kitchen garden in the summertime.

And its not just a matter of sizing up...they are usually actually almost entirely green until at least late November when they start to develop a pink core of leaves that fills into the characteristic loose head.

We had beautifully colored hearts by the second week of October, and while the heads continued to fill in for the next two months after that, loose heads with the fantastic salmon pink color could be harvested for salad much earlier than other varieties of the type. It did not appear to us as though there was much of a downside later in the season either, as the heads never became \"overmature\" if left to grow longer. In fact, we found the \u003cem\u003equality\u003c\/em\u003e of heading to be among the best and most uniform we have yet seen for the pinks.

For most vegetables, in order to provide a continuous harvest over a long period of time, growers stagger planting dates throughout the season which in turn provides a continuous harvest as the plants mature to eating stage. With radicchio, a different strategy is employed. For the most part, the majority of heading radicchio is best suited to seeding around the summer solstice (transplanting in the second-third week of July). To achieve a longer harvest period, rather than staggering planting dates, breeders have developed different varieties within a type with different days-to-maturity harvests. These are often referred to as \"slots\" with many types having early, mid, and late slotted varieties.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 days from transplant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacket: 100 seeds\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(181, 61, 61);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eGrowing Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease visit our \u003ca title=\"Radicchiology\" href=\"https:\/\/uprisingorganics.sbs\/pages\/radicchiology\"\u003eRadicchiology\u003c\/a\u003e page for radicchio growing info!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smarties","offers":[{"title":"Pkt","offer_id":46333751296233,"sku":"SMA-JO-pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 seeds","offer_id":46333751329001,"sku":"SMA-JO-500s","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 seeds","offer_id":46333751361769,"sku":"SMA-JO-1Ms","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5000 seeds","offer_id":46333751394537,"sku":"SMA-JO-5Ms","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/6203\/2046\/files\/Jolanda.jpg?v=1767921849"},{"product_id":"tomato-sandburg","title":"Tomato, 'Sandburg'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Lycopersicon esculentum)\u003c\/em\u003e Bred in North Carolina by independent tomato breeder Millard Murdock, who passed in 2019, leaving behind a legacy of wonderful tomato varieties, Sandburg is the result of a natural outcross from a variety called 'Lilian's Yellow'.

For several years now, there has been an exchange happening between a group of PNW growers and chefs and a group of breeders and growers in northern Italy around a shared love of radicchio. After a couple of trips where delegations of American growers visited and toured farms in Italy, experiencing the place the crop occupies in the cultural and culinary fabric of its homeland, finally, in the fall of 2022, we had the opportunity to host several of our Italian friends for a tour of \u003cem\u003eour \u003c\/em\u003efarms here in the PNW to share how radicchio is taking root in our own communities. In Portland, OR the trip culminated in the third annual edition of the \"Sagra del Radicchio\" organized by Lane Selman of the Culinary Breeding Network, a joyful celebration of all things Radicchio, with tastings, farmer-chef collaborations, culinary workshops, and a growers symposium. Suffice it to say the Italians were amazed and moved to see such an outpouring of enthusiasm, so far from home, for a crop that means so much to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the growers' symposium, our dear friend Andrea Ghedina, radicchio breeder and co-founder of Smarties.bio with whom we have collaborated for several years now, was fielding questions when someone asked him about the 'Pan di Zucchero' or Sugarloaf types. He got quite serious, gave them a hard stare, and replied \"Let us be clear, Pan di Zucchero is just green leaves to fill the bags\". Commercial salad bag \u003cem\u003efiller.\u003c\/em\u003e He might have even spat a little bit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy first thought was, \"Awkward...glad I am not behind the sugarloaf table at the event tomorrow\". My second thought was that this might be an example of where crops come to a new place and have the opportunity to take on new roles and reinvent themselves, right?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn spite of our best efforts, romaine is still king in the American fall salad market, and frankly, sugarloaf is probably the best like-for-like replacement the chicory family has to put up as an alternative. Sugarloaf was, ironically, many American growers' early introduction to growing radicchio as a crop in that it was one of the first radicchio types that had good quality seed available here (remember 'Borca'?), and its very minimal bitter flavor, balanced by natural sweetness, was more palatable to consumers than the Chioggia types (the other type primarily in the market back then) for people getting used to the idea of bitter greens. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniform green heads have a very upright habit, creating a densely wrapped column of crisp and only very mildly bitter leaves...\"foglia crocconte\". They're big! While they don't have the sex appeal of the bright colors and fantastical forms of other types, a sugarloaf head halved the long way, given light char on the grill and torn into a fattoush salad with a preserved lemon dressing is getting close to perfection as far as I am concerned. I mean, I am not one to argue with an Italian radicchio breeder about the merits of different types of radicchio (demonstrably not true), but I will say: later that day Andrea pulled me aside with a smile and said \"actually I have a pan di zucchero I am producing seed of.

Like, they're nodding their heads and watching your lips move, but you can just tell, their mind is somewhere else. I am starting to feel like that might be you when I am talking to you about Rosso di Verona radicchio. Please pay attention, this memo has been going around the office for a while now. We're adding a third variety of Verona this year: a wonderfully late 110 day beauty, not because the demand for our favorite heading type has been strong (indeed, it has not), but because we believe in your as-yet-unrealized capacity to make good decisions for your garden and table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think Verona is the most satisfying red heading type you can grow. Wonderfully uniform and easy, producing tight heads of a manageable size to polish off in a single evening's small family meal (think the Delicata of the radicchio world, but actually... don't get me started about the weird infatuation with Delicata squash, that's a conversation for another day). They are extremely durable in the field and store well after harvest. I am especially fond, in our generally mildish winter climate, of the late maturing slots like 'Gaia' that continue to hold in the field and sweeten with the onset of cold winter weather. There is nothing quite so satisfying as going out to the field on a cold January day and scraping a layer of slimy decay from the outside of a head of Verona only to uncover an impossibly pure, glowing, immaculate burgundy head of radicchio to harvest for supper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the older types, Rosso di Verona dates back to the 18th century when, like most radicchio of the time, it was produced by forcing. Through generations of selection it became the field heading variety we recognize today. Named after their center of production in the Veneto, Rosso di Verona are characterized by their small size (about the size of a large fist), compact egg-shaped heads, and prominent central white midrib on the leaves. There is a lovely interplay between the bitterness of the leaf and the sweetness of the white midrib, especially well into the fall and into periods of consistent frosts, and they are among the most versatile in the kitchen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout the named varieties... For most vegetables, in order to provide a continuous harvest over a long period of time, growers stagger planting dates throughout the season which in turn provides a continuous harvest as the plants mature to eating stage. With radicchio, a different strategy is employed. For the most part, the majority of heading radicchio is best suited to seeding around the summer solstice (transplanting in the second-third week of July). To achieve a longer harvest period, rather than staggering planting dates, breeders have developed different varieties within a type with different days-to-maturity harvests. These are often referred to as \"slots\" with many types having early, mid, and late slotted varieties.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e110 days from transplant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacket: 100 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eGrowing Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease visit our \u003ca title=\"Radicchiology\" href=\"https:\/\/uprisingorganics.sbs\/pages\/radicchiology\"\u003eRadicchiology\u003c\/a\u003e page for radicchio growing info!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smarties","offers":[{"title":"Pkt","offer_id":46377692692713,"sku":"SMA-GA-pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500 seeds","offer_id":46377692725481,"sku":"SMA-GA-500s","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1000 seeds","offer_id":46377692758249,"sku":"SMA-GA-1Ms","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5000 seeds","offer_id":46377692791017,"sku":"SMA-GA-5Ms","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/6203\/2046\/files\/Gaia.jpg?v=1705182219"},{"product_id":"four-oclock-beddu","title":"Four O'Clock, 'Beddu'","description":"\u003cp\u003e(Mirabilis\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e jalapa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e) Lane Selman of the Culinary Breeding Network has a strangely obsessive habbit of pinching seeds from roadside four o'clocks on her travels through Italy, and she has found in us an equally strange collaborator to obsessively multiply and spread their joy through the world.
