Baby Witloof Chicory from Mexico
Baby Witloof chicory consists of small, immature heads of Cichorium intybus var. foliosum, harvested at an early stage for use in gourmet salads. Although smaller than mature heads, it remains a fresh or chilled vegetable of the Witloof variety, and the size does not affect its classification under this tariff item.
