Endive, from France

A jewel of French agriculture, Endive is a forced chicory known for its elegantly elongated shape, creamy white leaves, and a distinctly crisp, refreshing bite. Its flavor is a sophisticated balance of mild bitterness and a subtle, nutty sweetness.

Both low in calories and rich in nutrients like folate and vitamin K, it is a valuable vegetable for weight management and supporting overall health.

Very appreciated for its versatility:

• Raw in salads, where its bitterness is perfectly balanced by sweet apples, pears, walnuts, or a creamy blue cheese dressing.
• Braised or grilled, which transforms its flavor into a tender, caramelized side dish that pairs beautifully with roasted meats.
• As a sophisticated, edible vessel for appetizers and hors d’oeuvres.
