Endive

Endives are a member of the chicory family. Chicories are essential to any great salad! Some people think of chicories as weeds, but don’t be fooled, they’re packed with flavor and nutrients.

They are a wildly small leafy vegetable with a loosely packed head of jagged chartreuse green leaves. Endives have a crisp texture and a sweet, nutty flavor with a pleasantly mild bitterness. They are great served raw or cooked just like you would spinach.

Chicories are rich in vitamins A, B and K; they’re high in dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, and beneficial minerals.

Available year-round.
