Chicory "Pan di Zucchero" (also known as Sugar Loaf chicory) is a light green, upright variety of chicory that produces large, tightly packed heads 🌱. This reliable variety is specially selected for taste and consistency, ensuring a high-quality crop that thrives in both fall and spring seasons. With easy growth and a compact growth habit, it’s an excellent addition to any vegetable garden.
Pan di Zucchero is one of the best varieties for creating tight, long heads of chicory, which makes it perfect for fresh salads or for cooking. Its slightly bitter flavor adds depth to dishes, while the crisp texture provides a delightful contrast in both raw and cooked preparations 🥗🍽️.
This chicory is particularly easy to grow and head up, making it an excellent choice for gardeners, even beginners 🌿. It performs particularly well in the fall, but can also be grown in the spring when transplanted. Whether used as a salad green or in cooked dishes, this chicory adds a unique and refreshing flavor.
Sowing Time: Best planted in early spring or late summer for fall harvest 🌞.
Sowing Depth: Plant seeds about 1–2 cm deep in well-drained soil.
Soil Conditions: Prefers slightly acidic, well-drained soil with good moisture retention 💧.
Spacing: Space seeds about 25-30 cm apart for optimal head growth.
Watering: Water regularly but avoid waterlogging the soil. Keep the soil moist during growing season but ensure proper drainage 🧑🌾.
For the best results, Pan di Zucchero thrives in cooler weather, so a fall planting is ideal for optimal growth and head development. The leaves and heads can be harvested once the plant matures, which typically takes 65-85 days from sowing.
Chicory is not only a delicious addition to your kitchen, but it also provides health benefits. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, chicory helps support digestion and boosts overall wellness 🌱. The leaves contain inulin, a prebiotic that supports gut health. Whether you are preparing a refreshing raw salad or incorporating chicory into a warm vegetable stew, it adds a perfect balance of bitter and nutty flavors to your meals 🥗🍲.
