Franchi - Indivia Scarola - Seeds
Bring the authentic taste of the regional Italian harvest to your kitchen garden with premium Franchi Sementi Indivia Scarola Seeds (Escarole / Broad-Leaved Endive). Packaged by Italy’s historic, family-run seed house, this classic Mediterranean green is highly prized for its broad, undulating smooth leaves and robust, heat-resistant growth habit. When grown from mid-summer into the cooler autumn months, the plant yields a massive, dense head with a wonderfully pale, tender, and mildly buttery "golden heart" centre. It serves as a highly versatile addition to any home allotment, providing the ultimate crunchy, rustic base for traditional sautéed escarole with olives and capers, savory holiday pies, or classic Italian wedding soups.
