Red endive
An endive with purple-edged leaves, crunchy and pleasantly bitter.
Red endive has white leaves edged in purple-red, tightly packed and crunchy. Its flavour, slightly milder than that of white chicory, keeps a pleasant bitterness. It suits raw preparations above all, where its colour stands out, but can also be braised or quickly grilled. Combined with white chicory, it creates beautiful contrasts.
