Inside a Giant Chicory Factory: How Millions of White Endives Are Grown (Full Process)

Did you know that the "White Gold" vegetable (Belgian Endive) is grown in total darkness?
In this video, we take you Inside a Giant Chicory Factory to witness the incredible 2-stage growing process. Unlike other crops, Chicory is first harvested for its root in the fields, and then brought indoors to a high-tech hydroponic facility.
Here, the roots are placed in dark, humid rooms filled with nutrient-rich water. This lack of light prevents the leaves from turning green and bitter, resulting in the tender, snow-white Belgian Endive (Witloof) that chefs love.
🏭 The Manufacturing Process Breakdown:
Field Harvest: Digging up millions of chicory roots from the soil.
Vernalization (Cold Storage): Freezing the roots to simulate winter and prepare them for sprouting.
Tray Loading: Placing roots into hydroponic trays.
Dark Room Forcing: The magic step! Growing the white leaves in pitch-black vertical farms for 21 days.
Harvesting & Breaking: The satisfying sound of separating the white head from the root.
Cleaning & Packaging: Wrapping in blue paper to protect them from light.
