Frequently Asked Questions

Scientifically speaking, Italiko Red (Cichorium intybus) is a cultivated chicory that produces upright, dandelion-like leaves. It offers the deep color, cut leaves, and classic bitter tone associated with Italian dandelions without spreading aggressively like common yard weeds.

Harvesting leaves when they are small and tender naturally keeps bitterness mild. To tone down the bitterness for cooking, try blanching the greens briefly in boiling water, braising them with garlic and olive oil, or pairing them in fresh salads with citrus vinaigrettes or rich cheeses.

Yes! Italiko Red responds very well to a "cut-and-come-again" harvest method. Harvest outer leaves about 1 to 2 inches above the soil line, leaving the central crown intact, and the plant will rapidly grow new leaves for continuous picking throughout the season.

Like most leafy greens and chicories, Italiko Red will bolt (go to seed) and produce tougher, more bitter leaves when summer temperatures rise. Planting in early spring or late summer for an autumn crop ensures the best leaf texture and flavor during cool weather.
