Belgian Endive

DID YOU KNOW?

Belgian endive is a white-leafed vegetable belonging to the daisy family. Often prepared raw in salads, Belgian endive is very versatile and can also be grilled, steamed, boiled, and baked.

It has a somewhat tangy and bitter taste and it is said the whiter the leaf is, the less bitter it will taste. It is somewhat labor-intensive to grow and is either grown indoors or underground in the absence of sunlight with only the tips of the leaves above the soil.
