Green Curled Endive

When someone says Endive, they generally mean this kind with small, curly leaves.

All its leaves are crunchy and slightly bitter. The outside leaves are green; the inside leaves are pale green or creamy-white. The outside leaves are stronger-tasting than the inside ones.

Varieties include Lora, Salad King (a standard now in South-western American farm production), Frisée (lacy leaves), and Ruffec (tolerates cold, so may be planted in early spring or grown into late fall.)

For the broader-leafed version of Endive, see the separate entry on Escarole.

Other names

AKA: Curly Endive, Moss Curled Endive
Scientific Name: Cichorium endivia var. crispa
Italian: Indivia
French: Endive, Scarole
