From Uprising Seeds: Giallo di Verona is a relatively recent development, selected from a sport of the more common red Verona type. We love the Verona types for their tight heads, durability in the field, convenient size, and versatility in the kitchen. ‘Yellowstone’ grows similarly to a mid to late red Verona in the fields with the outer leaves peeling back to reveal a stunning and unusual soft golden head with bright white central veining. Like most blanched-yellow radicchio types, leaves are less bitter than their red counterparts making them especially suited to raw salad preparations. Leaves, when separated from the head, show beguiling swirls and ripples to the leaves and veining that are visually stunning and great for greedily hording dressing. 100-110 days.
Gusto Italiano Project is a collaboration between Culinary Breeding Network, Uprising Seeds and northern Italian vegetable breeders at Smarties.bio. The project was born from a mutual love of radicchio and a desire to further establish it as an anchor of the fall and winter produce season here in North America, and specifically the Pacific Northwest. This special line of certified organic radicchio and regional specialty Brassica seeds was bred and grown in Italy by the incredible folks at Smarties.bio. Based in Chioggia, the heart of radicchio’s motherland, Smarties.bio exists at the crossroads of tradition and innovation by bringing years of modern breeding experience to classic, culturally significant vegetables of their region.
