Cut and process endives

Endives are healthy and harvested at a season when low-fresh vegetables are available. By December, some varieties can be brought fresh from the garden. Here's how to best clean, cut, and process your endives from the garden or supermarket.

Wash endives properly

Both endives from the supermarket and from their own garden are usually polluted with soil, sand and insects. This is especially true for varieties that have rather loose leaves. Therefore, the endive salad must be washed properly before processing:

Dry endives

While you are removing the leaves from the water, you can already check them for brown or damaged areas and remove them. Then put the salad in a salad spinner, drain the leaves in a colander or place on a dry, clean cloth and gently pat dry.

Cut endives

To cut the endives nicely evenly, place a few leaves in the same direction on top of each other on a board. Check for foul spots again and remove them.Then cut your endive leaves into fine strips.

Processing endives

Endives are mostly used fresh in lettuce. As they taste a bit bitter-bitter, they can be combined well with sweet ingredients such as oranges, mangos or apples.
But endives can not only be consumed raw. Search on cooking sites for recipes like:
