Endive, from Somme, France

Both low in calories and low in carbohydrates, Endive is still packed with nutrients that makes it valuable for weight management. It is rich in vitamin B6 and folate, essential compounds for many important processes in the body, including energy metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Endive is very appreciated in salads for its mild bitter flavour: try it with blue cheese and walnuts! Creative uses for this leafy vegetable include wraps as the shape of the leaves is optimal for holding ingredients together.
