All baby greens and
baby veggies in general are young plants enjoyed for their juicy, flavorful
texture. Whenever I find myself talking or writing about growing green leafy
vegetables, it’s hard for me to discuss the topic without mentioning numerous or
at least main advantages of having these micro doctors in a garden. This time I
chose to share with you some unexpected benefits of growing baby endive!
Baby Endive is Low in Fat and Sugars
1. Nutrition Facts
Two endive varieties I can vouch for
are Garden Endive Grosse Pancalieri and Chicory Endive Nuance. Baby endive, like all lettuce, is
rich in vitamins and minerals, while being naturally low in energy and
calories.
2. Delicious Taste and Flavor
Honestly, I am fond of baby endive
for its delicate sharpness which gives balance to sweeter greens in salads. For
my taste, baby endive is precisely as bitter as it should be. You never tried
it? Now is your chance!
3. How to Prepare Baby Endive
In case you’re up for a salad, then
I suggest to you to drizzle some raw baby endive leaves with savory
vinaigrettes. Another option I like is to cook the leaves, steam them briefly
and repeat the drizzle step, only this time I use olive oil and lemon juice.
