All the endives sold in the US are imported from
Belgium. Belgian endive was accidentally discovered
by a Belgian farmer in 1830. Since then the Belgian
endive’s fame has spread worldwide as more
cooks and chefs turn to the Belgian endive because
it is the most flavorful in the world.
The
distinctive tangy flavor of each leaf of this
vegetable has its own special mystique. Flavor
and versatility are key words, as are high nutritional
value, high mineral content, and low sodium. There
is only one calorie per leaf and zero carbs. Belgian
endive, hot or cold is truly the uncommon pleasure.
To truly enjoy them, select endives that are smooth
and white with yellow tips and leaves that are
closed at the tips. Check out more on endives
