DANDELION GREENS 'Catalogna Emerald' --Cichorium intybus--

AKA endive, heirloom upright cutting type with long, serrated green leaves and crisp white ribs; harvest young for salads or bunch for cooking. Distinct, pleasant, mild-bitter taste. In hot spells, provide afternoon shade to prevent bolting. For paler, tender hearts, gather outer leaves together and tie loosely 1-2 weeks pre-harvest. Rinse and chill promptly to maintain best flavor and texture. Versatile in salads, braises, and soups. 52-83 days, OP heirloom.
