The first endives de Bruxelles were sold in the Paris market in 1878; in 1883, 1,500 kg of Belgian witloof were sold there for 0.80 franc per kg.
The warm forcing conditions for witloof chicory production can cause browning of the chicon axis.
These chicons are the forced shoots of an otherwise green, bitter salad called witloof chicory.
Due to residues in the witloof chicory heads the use of insecticides is forbidden during forcing.
The cultivation of witloof was discovered by accident in a dark cellar in 19th century Belgium.
