Chiconettes
Chiconettes are small chicory heads with a rich flavor. Chiconettes owe their color to the fact that they are grown in the dark. Because light does not reach the leaves, the plant does not produce any green dye.

Origin
Chicory originated in Belgium in the 19th century. In the dark, white crop formation formed on the roots of the chicory heads. Heat, darkness and humidity were very important for the growth of the chicory. The mini chicory descends from this chicory and is developed not so long ago in Belgium.
