What it is
Organic escarole is a leafy green vegetable, a variety of endive. It has broad, slightly bitter leaves and is grown in soil, like other vegetables. It is harvested and typically sold fresh.
Why it's used
Escarole is used as a fresh ingredient in salads and as a cooked green in soups and stews. Manufacturers include it for its fresh flavor and nutritional content, adding it to packaged salads and soups.
Health notes
Escarole is a food ingredient and not subject to FDA additive regulations. As a vegetable, it is a source of vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated many vegetables and their components. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from consuming escarole as part of a balanced diet.
