Wonderfully nutritious and delicious, they can be found in everything from elegant to rustic seasonal preparations on the tables of food lovers everywhere. Fall planted, they are one of the culinary harbingers of the spring harvest season, beginning to mature in mid-May, and are excellent in dips, stews, braises, on the grill... Spring plant in March-April for July harvest. Plants grow to about 30”+ and are heavy yielding, though the beans take some time to size up even once the pods are full size. Harvest as fresh shelly until the leaves just start to yellow. For dry beans, pods or whole plants can be pulled for further drying once leaves have browned and fallen off. While a bit of a labor of love to prepare, most will agree they are certainly worth the effort. Also, fava \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003egreens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e!

The taproots can grow to well over 4’ (though we are rarely able to pull more than 12-16 inches of them) and are popular pickled, sautéed, in soups, and with ramen. We often slice some of the root into a pot of cooking rice to subtly infuse it with its delicate, earthy flavor. In Chinese medicine, it is known as a blood purifier and diuretic. From a perspective of purely botanical admiration, the plants are magnificent! Rosettes of enormous broad fuzzy leaves grow to 3’ the first year before bolting in their second year to a branching spread of up to 8’ tall and 6’ wide with deep magenta thistle-like blooms. More than once we've eaten lunch in the shade of the burdock canopy! You now have so many reason to try your hand at it!

Amusingly, it is a \u003cem\u003every\u003c\/em\u003e firm (borderline crunchy) tomato, giving the name an extra layer of appropriateness. Selected for many years by farmers of the area for qualities that allow it to store well into the winter months, it is one of the most durable tomatoes we have grown. The fruits are slow to mature on indeterminate vines and never quite look or feel ripe to the touch, shifting from yellow with green streaked shoulders to an orange\/red blush (\u003cem\u003egiallorosso\u003c\/em\u003e means yellow-red in Italian). Traditionally stored in single layers in wooden crates or hung in clusters (\"\u003cem\u003eNzerte\u003c\/em\u003e\") similar to Piennoli, they can last for months after harvest in the right conditions. The flavor is defined by classic, very high acidity, a firm and toothsome flesh, and a burst of juicy seed\/gel center. The context makes sense when considering another food tradition of the region, \u003cem\u003eFrise, \u003c\/em\u003ea twice-baked circular bread that somewhat resembles a sort of bagel-cracker. Since ancient times, Frise were also designed for storage, with their crispy texture and a circular shape allowing them to be strung through the center hole in bunches, thus a 'traveler's bread' for workers and fishermen who were away from home for long stretches of time.  Quickly rehydrated with a dip in water (often seawater) they made a substantial meal.  When rubbed with a fresh tomato, the juice helps saturate and soften the bread while the firm flesh coats and seasons the top (this also works great with a grilled or toasted slice of crusty, rustic country bread). \u003cbr\u003eIn our home, we don't consider Crispiano much of a tomato for cooking in any way, preferring it chopped on grilled bread or in something like \u003cem\u003epico de gallo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eGiven this modern world of food distribution and the availability of tomatoes in the markets year-round, Crispiano Giallorosso has very much fallen out of fashion and is no longer widely grown, though Slow Food has set up a presidium of a handful of growers to celebrate the variety and its tradition.\u003cbr\u003e80 days.

At this point, now that people have been growing it a bit, we can start to talk a little about nuance. In spite of its primary association with Roman culinary tradition are two primary centers of production in Italy, naturally one around Rome, but the other all the way down in Puglia. The other variety we sell, 'Medusa', is of the type that is grown in Puglia. The heads of these tend to be bigger and heavier, the heading more uniform, and the stems (the culinary part) shorter. As they stretch out the stems tend to need a trim from the bottom as the bases get a bit fibrous (much like the bottoms of asparagus spears). Somewhat unexpectedly, though these types come from the warmer south, they also tend to be more cold-hardy and can be harvested later into the fall.\u003cbr\u003e'Gaetano' is our friends' at Smarties.bio first foray into a selection of the Roman type. While less uniform in heading, the longer slender stems are more delicate and tender and better suited to the traditional preparation of match-sticking and soaking in cold water to gain the distinctive curl for salad use. It comes on slightly earlier than Medusa and is not quite as winter hardy. We feel as though both types have their place in creating a complete program to maximize puntarelle enjoyment each fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eAbout Puntarelle in general\u003c\/em\u003e: We are crazy about the chicories in general, but puntarelle has been a full-blown obsession here at Uprising. Traditionally grown in the region around Rome, puntarelle is unique among the chicories in that it is the young, hollow bolting shoots that are usually eaten rather than the leaves. They grow into dense beautiful \"heads\" (referred to as \"pigne\" or pinecones in Italy) with many points that, upon harvest, are separated, julienned into thin strips, and soaked in cold water to remove some of the bitterness while developing an elegant curl. In Roman markets, vendors can be found prepping the greens using a \u003cem\u003etaglia puntarelle (or 'tapu')\u003c\/em\u003e, a tool consisting of a fine wire grid (available \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.uprisingorganics.sbs\/collections\/tools\/products\/puntarelle-slicer#\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e) which the stems are pushed through to finely slice them for soaking. The texture is crisp and crunchy with the lovely refreshing bitterness of its radicchio siblings. In Rome, Puntarelle alla Romana, thin strips of puntarelle in an anchovy, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil dressing, is a quintessential winter salad. There it is mainly a winter vegetable, but because bolting is triggered by photoperiod (day length, or more accurately night-length) it generally heads much earlier at our more northerly latitude, usually between mid-October and mid-November. We have been growing this crop for many years here at Uprising, and in the past have found the available seed to be extremely variable, frustratingly producing a relatively low percentage of proper, harvestable plants. These Smarties strains have vastly raised the bar of success in our climate.

Distinctively elegant in appearance, “Incantatore\" has long slender burgundy leaves with pure white mid-ribs that curl fancifully inwards at the tip. Produced primarily around the town of Treviso, in the Veneto region of northern Italy, this type of radicchio is known as \u003cem\u003eRosso di Treviso Tardivo\u003c\/em\u003e and is \u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003etraditionally “forced\", or brought inside (roots and all) in late fall\/early winter after growing for months in the field to produce a second, deliciously tender growth in the heart of the rosette. The practice originates from historically lean times when poor rural populations sought out sources of winter-time nourishment. Plants that produced a core of edible greens in the coldest months of the year when brought inside barns and cellars became food of necessity. Ironically, many have now come to be thought of as gourmet culinary treasures like Belgian endive, Treviso Tardivo, and Rosa di Gorizia. The first Italian vegetable to gain IGP, a European protected status for special food products specific to a place of origin (similar to many wines and cheeses) radicchio, Treviso tardivo was celebrated with a producer's exhibition in 1900 which, interrupted only by wartime years, has been held every year since. Use raw in salads, grilled, roasted, sautéed with risotto or pasta. A true source of joy. \u003cbr\u003e'Cagnani' is a great, mid-season length, main crop which is perfect timing to force for the mid Nov-mid Dec harvest slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100-110 days + forcing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacket: 100 seeds\u003cbr\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","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Pkt","offer_id":50326794207465,"sku":"SMA-CG-pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500 seeds","offer_id":50326794240233,"sku":"SMA-CG-500s","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1000 seeds","offer_id":50326794273001,"sku":"SMA-CG-1Ms","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5000 seeds","offer_id":50326794305769,"sku":"SMA-CG-5Ms","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25000 seeds","offer_id":50326794338537,"sku":"SMA-CG-25Ms","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/6203\/2046\/files\/Cagnani.jpg?v=1771029731"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.uprisingorganics.sbs\/collections\/new-in-2026.oembed","provider":"Uprising Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
