Endive

Endive is a strong, slightly bitter-tasting, annual leafy vegetable that belongs to the same genus as chicory. There are two types of endive. The common endive with broad, free leaves in a loose crop and the curly endive (Frisee endive). The frisees taste slightly more bitter and have incised curled leaf edges. Tip: Tie the endive together about 7 days before harvesting, this will give you a nice yellow heart. This process is called bleaching, bleached leaves have a milder taste.
