The red endive I think you are referring may be red Treviso Radicchio, commonly sold -as -s harvested, it also can be 'forced' in exactly the same way as Belgian endive. I have seen it showing up forced this way in specialty markets ( i.e. Wegmans in Northboro for you, or at Whole Foods), this past winter.

Dear Matt,

I have been using Totem from Johnny's and am looking for another source of Belgian endive seed. I live in east-central MA, in Bolton. Once at the Nashoba Winery I had a red-tinged Belgian endive salad. Very pretty. Let me know if you have another source?
Pleased to have come across your blog this morning-I'll be back!

-Jem
