Description

Escarole is a leafy green vegetable with broad, curly leaves that belong to the chicory family. It has a slightly bitter and earthy taste, especially in its outer leaves, while the inner leaves are milder.

Escarole is commonly used in salads, soups, and sautéed dishes.

When cooked, its bitterness tends to mellow, and its leaves become tender and flavorful.

This versatile green adds a distinctive element to recipes, contributing a mix of textures and a touch of bitterness to complement a variety of flavors.
