Escarole is a type of chicory with broad, slightly curly, pale green leaves. It is less bitter than its relatives like radicchio or curly endive, with a flavor that is pleasantly bitter, nutty, and slightly sweet. Its sturdy leaves make it fantastic for use in salads, adding a robust texture. It is also a classic ingredient in Italian wedding soup and is excellent when braised or grilled, which softens its bitterness. We supply fresh, crisp heads.
