This item is no longer available as raw seed. We recommend the pelleted seed version of this variety, Benefine Frisee - Pelleted.

Exquisite heads of deeply cut leaves with self-blanching, creamy hearts.

A beautiful frisee-type chicory with excellent resistance to tip burn and good bolt tolerance. Plants grow in gorgeous, thin heads that are highly uniform and self-blanching in the heart to reveal tender, sweet leaves that are perfect for salads and other raw preparations.
