Chicory - Curly Endive

(Chicory) Chicory, also called endive or curly endive, is a slightly bitter tasting salad green, which is excellent for giving a mixed green salad a variety of tastes. Chicory is also more "crunchy" than leaf lettuce, so that combining them together gives the salad more "interest". When purchasing, select chicory that is firm and crispy and has dark green leaves (see photo). See nutritional chart below.

Endive, raw

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
