Curly Endive
3,78 $
The leaves of this large curly endive grow in a rosette, and have a white midrib.
Chicory is mainly grown for its young leaves, but can also be eaten once mature when its delightful taste gets a spark of bitterness. Crunchy charming leaves.
Can be blanched by covering each plant with an upside-down pot for 2 to 3 weeks. Just make sure to elevate those pots a bit from the ground to provide sufficient air circulation. Can help to reduce bitterness.

Small head lettuce with red undertones. Baquieu lettuce combines hardiness with early harvest. It might be an ancient German variety then called 'Erstling' (meaning the first) due to how early it can be harvested. Mentions of this variety are found in horticultural documents of the end of the 17th Century.

When it comes to common purslane, saying "ancient vegetable" is an euphemism; purslane was known by the Egyptians 4000 years ago. It was then, like many other plants, "forgotten". It is nonetheless making a comeback on our market shelves thanks to market gardeners growing ancient varieties. In a salad or mesclun, purslane is eaten fresh. Its leaves are tender and filled with omega-3 and antioxidants. It is also emollient, detoxifying, diuretic, and laxative if eaten in large quantities. Chewing on a couple leaves will soothe gum inflammation and mild sore throats.

The 'Reine des Glaces' Lettuce is a bicentenary variety coming from France. It is also known as Regina delle Ghiacciole in Italy.
It's a batavia lettuce; its leaves are crinkled and have a wavy edge, they're crispy and sweet. This variety grows fast and tolerates well the heat; it doesn't develop a bitter taste and doesn't bolt easily. It also tolerates the first snowfalls well, making it a polyvalent crop. After harvested the head, the remaining leaves can still be cut and eaten as fresh greens.

This Batavia head lettuce has light green leaves, sprinkled with red dots. They are slightly wavy, reminiscent of a jester costume, which explains the name. They are also crispy and delicious. The plant itself is very hardy, and resistant to bolting. This allows for a longer harvest with delayed planting.
This variety was developed by Frank Morton in Oregon, who made a triple-cross between the “Reine des Glaces”, “Merlot”, and “Flashy Troutback” varieties. It was selected for both its visual and eating qualities.

Japanese mustard, also named Mizuna cabbage. Sweet, mild pepper flavor. Traditionally used in soups, salads and stir-fries. Also grown as an ornemental plant for its attractive feathery leaves.
Does not like the heat. It is best to grow early in spring or in the fall.
Graceful with its dark red leaves, this lettuce is nonetheless fierce. It has a high resistance to bolting as well as to insects and other pests. The leaves are wavy and crunchy. The lettuce is often described as semi-romaine, as the head is a bit loose and ruffled. Great taste. Rare. A special thanks to Mr. Paquet for sharing it with us.
