Robbie’s Produce Tips: Escarole
Escarole is a type of endive with a milder flavor than the Belgian variety. Here are some tips for selecting:
- Choose escarole that looks green and fresh
- Avoid browning leaves
- Be sure to wash the bunch before using it as dirt may be trapped between its curly leaves
