Salad Greens – Benefine

Cichorium endivia

(Salad Greens)

Variety: Benefine

75 Days to Mature

From Territorial: This Tres Fin type endive flaunts dense heads of finely cut, succulent leaves. The frost-hardy plants reach 5 inches tall and a broad 13 inches across with emerald leaves that blanch to a creamy heart. The full-bodied leaves offer excellent texture and a sweet-touched-with-bitter flavor to round out more mildly flavored greens in salads. The crop has very good field-holding capacity and remains less bitter than other endives in its class.

First purchased in November 2025 for the 2026 growing season.
