🥬 Endive (Cichorium endivia)
🥬 Botanical Name: Cichorium endivia
🥬 Type: Hardy Annual / Biennial (grown as Annual)

Endive (Cichorium endivia) is a cool-season leafy crop valued for its crisp, slightly bitter leaves that add depth and texture to salads and cooked dishes. There are two main types — curly endive (frisée) with finely cut, frilly leaves and broad-leaved escarole with wider, tender foliage. Easy to grow and quick to mature, Endive thrives in cooler conditions and can be blanched for milder flavour. Perfect for succession sowing, it provides a steady supply of fresh greens throughout spring, summer, and autumn.
