Zusammenfassung:	A method of forcing witloof from an endive root is described. After the endive root is conventionally grown in a field or the like, the foilage is removed therefrom and the end of such root is submerged and maintained in water for the forcing of the witloof from its reticle end. A cap of an opaque material is placed over the reticle end of the root, which cap defines a cavity conforming to a desired compact shape for the witloof. The witloof will develop into such cap which will not only provide the desired compact shape but also exclude light therefrom for blanching.
