- Excellent crisp salad vegetable
- Interesting slightly bitter flavour
- Good mixed with lettuce
Try Endive as an interesting alternative to lettuce. An excellent crisp vegetable which will liven up salads, Endive is eaten green and the leaves are a little bitter, but blanched for a few days they develop a milder taste. For best results sow in a well drained soil, or soil that has been enriched.
