Endive

EverydayFresh

Endive is a leafy vegetable characterized by its slightly bitter flavor and crisp texture. Commonly available in two main varieties, Belgian endive (also known as witloof) features tightly packed, pale leaves, while curly endive (frisée) has looser, more feathery green leaves. Both types can be enjoyed raw in salads, where their bitterness complements sweeter ingredients, or cooked in gratins and braised dishes to mellow their flavor.
