Indivia D'Estale A Cuore Giallo Seeds

Grown similarly to lettuce, mature blanched hearts will be less bitter and have a creamy yellow centre with darker green outside leaves. Ideal ingredient for a mixed leaf salad to add taste and texture contrasts.

Aftercare Instructions:

Harvesting of mature hearts can commence after about 80 days from sowing. To reduce the bitter flavour the plants should be blanched in succession. Once blanched the hearts will deteriorate in quality, so blanching should be carried out to fit in with harvesting requirements. Blanching is achieved by tying up the lower leaves to cover the plant or by placing a 25 cm size pot over the plants and blocking the drainage hole to exclude light.
