Nutritional Information
Endive is a nutrient-rich addition to any diet. It is an excellent source of Vitamin K, which is important for blood clotting and bone health. It is also a good source of Vitamin A (beta-carotene), Folate, and dietary fibre. Endive is low in calories, making it a healthy and refreshing choice for salads.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Sow seed directly outdoors in June, 6 mm deep in rows 60 cm apart. Thin seedlings to 20 cm apart within the row to give them plenty of space to develop. To promote tenderness and to discourage bitterness, “blanch” the inner leaves by tying the larger outer leaves up over the centre about 7 to 10 days before harvesting. Be sure to do this when the outer leaves are dry. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
