Sugarloaf Chicory

Positive effects on eyes bones and teeth. Reduced risk of tumors.

Sugarloaf Chicory Description.

Sugarloaf chicory (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum) is a leafy vegetable from the Asteraceae family. Its enveloping leaves form a compact head, are crisp, light green in color, and have a characteristic slightly bitter aroma, which provides benefits for the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. In addition to being rich in fiber, vitamins (provitamin A, B1, B2, C), and minerals (potassium, phosphorus, calcium), this
vegetable stands out for its inulin content, which offers digestive health benefits.

Vivai Bacchetto produces and delivers sugarloaf chicory seedlings in a wide range of formats. The pre-extraction process ensures excellent root development and batch uniformity. Cultivation times are kept short to prevent premature bolting.

Opinions of satisfied customers

They provide very prompt and specific answers to all our questions. The passion of all the employees has been evident since the beginning of our collaboration in 2012.
Agata Luty-Grzegorzak
Owner, Luty Jacek Sp.zo.o.Sp.k.
Our company has been a client of Vivai Bacchetto for many years, and this collaboration has continued over time because the service has always been highly efficient, punctual, and of excellent quality. For us horticulturists and agronomists, who are highly dependent on variables such as climatic conditions and market demands, it is very important to be able to count on a partner who can adequately satisfy even “last minute” needs. Vivai Bacchetto’s professionalism is simply impeccable.
Silvia Franceschi
Agronomist, Azienda Agricola San Maurizio
I have been buying from Vivai Bacchetto for some time. The company has grown a lot since I first met it and has managed to maintain an “almost family” identity. The quality of the plants is good and consistent and the service is fast and attentive to the needs of my company. Reliable company and people.
