Endive, also known as Belgian endive or witloof, is a leafy vegetable characterized by its pale, almost white leaves with tightly packed heads. Its flavor is subtly bitter, offering a unique taste profile that distinguishes it from other greens. The texture of endive is crisp and slightly firm. It is available year-round and is a versatile ingredient, commonly used raw in salads or cooked in various dishes. Looking for low calorie leafy greens?

Endive is best stored in the refrigerator. Wrap the heads loosely in a paper towel and place them in a plastic bag with air holes to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to spoilage. This method helps retain freshness and crispness for up to a week. Avoid washing endive until just before use, as moisture accelerates deterioration.
