Chicory (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum) is popular in some regions as a salad green, especially in France and Belgium. It is closely related to red hearted chicory (radicchio). Chicory seeds are sown in spring. During autumn, the roots are harvested and stored in complete darkness. After a period of time, the roots produce shoots. Leaves that grow in darkness do not produce clorophyll, remaining mostly white with yellow at the tips. Leaves lacking chlorophyll are much less bitter than green leaves.
