Witloof "Mechelse Middelvroeg" - Cichorium intybus var. sativum.
A perennial vegetable plant of the Asteraceae family, cultivated as a biennial or annual. As a salad, 2 types are grown: chicory endive and chicory witloof.
Witloof chicory leaves are rich in nutrients. They contain ascorbic acid, carotene, mineral salts, proteins, sugars, as well as inulin and intibin, which cause mild bitterness. Chicory salad has medicinal properties. It contains nitrate, sulfate and hydrochloric acid salts of potassium, which improve kidney function.
Inulin has a regulating effect on metabolism in the body and is used as a sugar substitute for diabetes.
Intibin improves the functioning of the digestive organs, the activity of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, cardiovascular system, and has a positive effect on the hematopoietic organs.
Chicory Witloof is grown as an annual crop and used as a salad. The form with a loosely cut leaf blade is known as escarole.
The agricultural technology of cultivation is similar to that of ordinary lettuce.
Witloof sowing is carried out not only in spring, but also in summer (July). Plants in this case can remain in the field until frost occurs and retain food quality when thawed. You can store witloof rosettes in a storage container in the basement, which allows you to prolong the use of this valuable product.
Unlike endive, witloof chicory is capable of forming dense heads of juicy, crisp leaves when forced in winter, which are used as a salad or in a stew.
But there are also special varieties of this species - for fresh consumption. These include the Palla Rossa variety. It is sown in open ground in June-July in a sunny place according to a scheme of 30 g per 30 cm. The seeding rate is 0.4-0.6 g/m2, the planting depth is 1-1.5 cm.
Regular care: weeding, loosening row spacing. Harvest before frost sets in. The heads of cabbage are dense, beet-colored, with clear veins. The taste is pleasant with a slight bitterness. It is characterized by a high content of vitamins and biologically active substances.
1,0 g = 600 seeds.
