About Raw endives
Raw endives, a popular salad green originally hailing from Belgium, are crisp, slightly bitter vegetables often used in French and Mediterranean cuisines. They belong to the chicory family and boast a pale, elongated appearance. Endives are a nutrient-dense option, low in calories—about 17 calories per cup—and rich in essential vitamins such as Vitamin K, which supports bone health, and Vitamin A, promoting healthy vision and skin. They also contain dietary fiber, aiding digestion, and folate, vital for cell function and repair. Furthermore, endives are hydrating due to their high water content and offer antioxidants like quercetin, which may help reduce inflammation. Notably, they are low in fat and sodium, making them heart-healthy, but their distinct bitterness may not appeal to every palate. Perfect in salads, appetizers, or as a gluten-free wrap alternative, endives are a versatile and nutritious addition to your diet.
