Cultivated endive, also known as Escarole, French endive, Batavian endive, Belgian endive, Witloof, Chicory, Curly endive, Frisée
Cultivated endive is generally considered an easy-to-care-for leafy vegetable. It requires well-draining soil and consistent moisture, but overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. A special care point for cultivated endive is its preference for cooler temperatures and partial shade, which can prevent the leaves from becoming bitter. Additionally, cultivated endive benefits from regular harvesting to encourage continued growth and tender leaves.
