Chicorium intybus
Same genus, but a species apart from endive, the chicories are more colorful and cold hardy, slower growing, thicker leafed, and less curly than most endives. Can be used as a cutting green, but beautiful pigments, crunchy texture, and complex flavors don’t fully manifest until maturity. Best flavor is always in cold weather.
