Ensuite, on coupe les feuilles d'été qu'on peut donner au lapin et on met les racines en cave. Les feuilles d'hiver sont produites uniquement avec les réserves de nutriments accumulés dans les racines.<br /><br />Il y a une variété de chicorée qui se cultive de la même façon et est à mon avis encore meilleure que l'endive (mais plus chère et plus rare) : la barbe de capucin.Olivier Bailleuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892201578871115809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-89948835582209024972010-12-30T15:58:16.523+01:002010-12-30T15:58:16.523+01:00Wow!

I just know that I really like this lettuce because it was plentiful and fairly cheap when I first lived in Germany in '73 and '74. But when we came back to the states it was quite expensive so I don't buy it that often.

The next year they plant the roots which are covered by sand or dark plastic so no light can harm the crop. <br /><br />Haven't found an English explanation on Wiki, but I think the French version says about the same as the Dutch.<br />http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/EndivePeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348111835477115112noreply@blogger.com
