B itter flavors have a
tendency to be polarizing.
Perhaps that’s why
chicories—relatives of the
lettuce family and
including endive, escarole, frisée,
and radicchio—don’t have the same
popularity as their milder cousins.
If you consider yourself
bitter-averse, we hope these
recipes entice you to reconsider.
Balanced with salty, sour, or rich
ingredients and cooked in ways
that tame the greens’ bite, chicories
yield deep caramelized flavors
and a bit of innate sweetness.
If you’re already a chicory
fan, you know they’re at their peak
this month. Now is the time to
enjoy grocery store varieties and
shop your seasonal farmers
markets for lesser-known types that
offer a wide spectrum of pungent
flavors and textures.

THE GREATEST
4-H PROJECT IN HISTORY.
One fateful day, Arthur Perdue gave his 10-year-old son,
Frank, 50 chickens — the least productive flock in his
small egg business. Little Frank dutifully fed, cared for,
and studied those chickens for his 4-H project.
A month later, those hens were laying eggs like nobody’s
business. Today, the Perdue family is still in business —
because that 4-H project has never really stopped.
Now, more than ever, the Perdue family is committed to
setting new standards in animal care, quality and innovation.
