MAGNUM PACKS = Great Value (larger seed packets 3 times the standard amount of seed) Great for Market Growers or for Home Growers who want to buy one packet and store the seed for each season.

Green, full hearted Escarole has a good sized head of crunchy and mild-flavoured leaves. Escarole is a favourite in Italy where the more strongly flavoured and tougher outer leaves are cooked, and the inner, pale, blanched leaves are used in salads. Carluccio has a number of good looking recipes in his vegetables book.

Sow in seed boxes late summer and transplant/direct sow in autumn and thin to 20cm. To blanch the heart for tender pale interior leaves, tie leaves up with twine 10-12 days before harvest.
