Benefine Frisee
Sign-up for auto-delivery to make sure you never run out of organic greens to grow!
Benefine Frisée is a type of curly endive lettuce that is known for its unique bitter taste and curly leaves. It is a member of the chicory family and is often used in salads and as a garnish for a variety of dishes.
The leaves of the Benefine Frisée lettuce are frilly and curly, with a texture that ranges from crispy to tender depending on the age of the plant. The leaves are a vibrant green color and have a slightly bitter taste that is often described as nutty or peppery.
In addition to its unique taste, Benefine Frisée lettuce is also packed with nutrients. It is a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as folate, iron, and calcium. It is also low in calories, making it a great choice for those looking to maintain a healthy diet.
Benefine Frisée lettuce is easy to grow and can be grown in both warm and cool climates. It prefers well-drained soil and should be watered regularly to ensure proper growth. It can be harvested when the leaves are young and tender, or when they are fully mature and slightly bitter.

We grow with the seasons! So in most climates, you will be able to grow year round. Typically most leafy greens like the cooler temperatures. Some varieties such as spinach, bok choy, and mustards do not grow in warm temperatures (> 70 degrees). However, if there are heat tolerant varieties - we will grow them!
You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. If you follow the guidelines below, you will be safe:
COLD CLIMATES
- If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait until night temperatures are in the 40's consistently.
- On the occasional dips into the 30's, you can cover with a sheet or bring them indoors for that time period. The breeze is good for plants and helps to keep bugs at bay so growing outdoors is optimal.
WARM CLIMATES:
- If you live where it reaches above 90 degrees consistently, you'll want to grow heat tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) and herbs (basil, mint, rosemary) primarily.
To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.
