CURLY ENDIVE- GENERAL INFORMATION

    Curly endive is loosely headed with curly, ragged-edged

leaves.
  The  heart  of  the head is yellow and  the  outer

leaves
are green.   It is usually used as a salad green, but

in
Europe it is used primarily as a cooked vegetable and  in

making
soups.   It is very crisp when fresh and has a rather

bitter
 flavor.   Curly  endive  usually sells  at  moderate

prices,
is   fairly   perishable  and   should   always   be

refrigerated.
