{"product_id":"tres-fine-endive","title":"Tres Fine Endive","description":"\u003cp\u003eTres Fine is an attractive French heirloom endive variety prized for its exceptionally fine, deeply curled leaves and delicate, feathery appearance. Also known as Tres Fine Maraichere, this traditional frisée endive produces dense rosettes of finely divided, bright green leaves surrounding a tender, creamy-white heart. Its distinctive texture and pleasantly bittersweet flavor make it a wonderful addition to the home vegetable garden, particularly for gardeners who enjoy growing specialty salad greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating in France, Tres Fine belongs to the curly-leaved group of endives \u003cem\u003e(Cichorium endivia var. crispum),\u003c\/em\u003e commonly known as frisée. Unlike broad-leaved escarole, frisée develops narrow, intricately cut leaves that give the plants their characteristic lacy appearance. As the outer foliage grows, it naturally shades the center of the plant, producing a pale, tender heart with a milder flavor. This traditional French salad green is especially well suited to cool-season cultivation and can be harvested as young leaves or allowed to develop into full, attractive heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTres Fine brings delightful texture and a pleasantly refreshing bitterness to fresh salads. Its delicate, finely curled leaves are particularly beautiful in mesclun mixes, where they contrast with smoother lettuce varieties. Mature leaves pair wonderfully with rich dressings, bacon, poached eggs, and other classic ingredients in French bistro salads. For the sweetest, most tender harvests, grow Tres Fine during the cooler weather of spring or fall, with mature heads generally ready in approximately 45–60 days. Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tres Fine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67592601895161,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/4450\/files\/tres-fine-endive-seeds-1265930175.jpg?v=1793745133","url":"https:\/\/www.threshseed.com\/products\/tres-fine-endive","provider":"Thresh Seed Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
