In the Netherlands, endive is in season May to November, at its best in September, October and November. Endive is in season now, in November, and this is the peak.
Endive is a Dutch field crop from May to November and a traditional stamppot green, eaten raw through hot mashed potato.
A full, fresh head with a pale heart.
Folate, vitamin K, beta-carotene and fibre, with the bitter lactucin of the chicory family.
To get the most: Raw through hot stamppot, the Dutch way, keeps the folate; the outer green leaves hold more carotene than the pale heart.
Content per NEVO, the Dutch food composition database. This describes what the food contains, not what it does for you.
Shred finely for andijviestamppot, or braise the outer leaves.
