About Escarole
Escarole is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the chicory family, closely related to endive and radicchio. With broad, slightly frilly leaves and a mildly bitter flavor, escarole is commonly used in Italian and Mediterranean cuisines, often featured in soups, stews, or sautéed dishes. Rich in nutrients, escarole is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. These nutrients support heart health, bone strength, and a healthy immune system. Low in calories and fat, it makes a great addition to a balanced diet. However, its bitter taste may not appeal to everyone unless paired with complementary ingredients. Escarole is versatile and can be eaten raw in salads or lightly cooked to mellow its bitterness and showcase its earthy flavor. Its nutritional benefits make it a great choice for health-conscious cooks.
