Benefine Frisée is a 2" organically grown leafy green with finely curled leaves and a mildly bitter, nutty flavor. It thrives in grow pots, containers, and planted walls—adding bold texture and complexity to fresh salads.

This chicory-type green is rich in folate and fiber and pairs well with creamy dressings, citrus, or warm vinaigrettes.

Fun Fact: Frisée is a staple in French cuisine and is often paired with poached eggs and bacon in the classic salade lyonnaise.

Organically grown and shipped with care—ready to elevate your greens game with texture and taste.

Growing Zone

Most leafy greens like the cooler temperatures, but they can generally grow year-round. You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. Refer to the guidelines below:

COLD CLIMATES

If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, hold off on growing until night temperatures are consistently in the 40's.
On the occasional dips into the 30's, you can cover your seedlings with a sheet overnight.

WARM CLIMATES:

If you regularly experience temperatures above 90 degrees for long periods of time, you may want to focus on herbs and heat-tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) during the heat intensive months.
Once temperatures are consistently in the 80's, you can start growing leafy greens.

To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.
