Cichorium endiva
This mild-flavored endive is easy on the eyes and good for the liver!
There are many who believe that endives are the next big vegetable stars, and we couldn’t agree more. With its mild flavor and enticing frilliness, this lovely frisee is a great gateway to getting on board with the Culinary Breeding Network’s assertion that “bitter is better.” It adds heft to salad mixes and is also delicious as a standalone green eaten raw. Cooking will turn it into a “geriatric sea urchin,” in writer Megan Williams’ words.
