Endive

What is "endive"?

Endive, with its distinctively crisp texture and slightly bitter flavor, is a leafy vegetable that adds a refreshing element to salads and other dishes. Its pale green leaves form a tight head, providing a satisfying crunch when bitten into. Endive's versatility allows it to be enjoyed raw in salads or used in cooked dishes, where it can be sautéed, braised, or even grilled to bring out its unique taste. Whether used as a garnish or a main ingredient, endive brings a delightful balance of flavors and textures to the table.
