About Cooked escarole
Cooked escarole, a tender leafy green from the chicory family, is a nutritious and versatile vegetable often used in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. Mild and slightly bitter in flavor, it becomes mellow and slightly sweet when sautéed, braised, or simmered. Rich in vitamins A and K, cooked escarole is excellent for supporting healthy eyesight and bone strength. It also contains folate and potassium, which aid heart health and maintain balanced blood pressure. Packed with dietary fiber, escarole promotes digestion and satiety, making it a great option for weight management. Low in calories and fat, it’s often prepared with garlic, olive oil, lemon, or broth for a flavorful yet health-conscious dish. However, depending on the recipe, added fats or salt may increase calories and sodium, so moderation is key. Cooked escarole is a wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredient that elevates soups, stews, and sautéed vegetable medleys.
