How to Pick

Select endive with crisp, tightly packed leaves and a firm texture. Avoid any with wilting or browning leaves as they may not be fresh. Look for endive with a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter aroma, as this indicates a well-grown and flavorful product. Additionally, consider the size and shape of the endive, as smaller, more compact heads are often sweeter and more tender. Consider your intended use for the endive, whether it's for salads, braising, or grilling, and choose accordingly.

How to Store

Endive should be stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel to maintain freshness. Make sure to remove any damaged leaves before storing. Keep endive away from fruits that produce ethylene gas, such as apples and bananas, as this can cause it to spoil more quickly. When properly stored, endive can last for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.

Where it’s Sourced

Our Endive is carefully cultivated in the fertile soils of Victoria and South Australia, where the cool climate allows for the perfect growing conditions to produce crisp and flavorful leaves.

Endive also adds a refreshing crunch to salads when paired with juicy pears, blue cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette.
