Endive
Description: Endive, also known as chicory in Belgium, is a leafy vegetable characterized by its elongated shape and slightly bitter flavor. Grown in the dark to promote its development and maintain its pale color, endive is a versatile ingredient used in many culinary preparations. It can be eaten raw in salads, where its crunch and bitterness add a refreshing touch, or cooked for a more tender texture and subtly sweet flavor. In gratin, braised, or even in soup, endive lends itself to various recipes that highlight its delicacy.
