Endive (Cichorium endivia) is a leafy vegetable. The information here describes its raw leaves only. It consists mainly of water and provides vitamins and minerals, including folate, vitamin C and potassium, with small amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 140µg of folate, 12mg of vitamin C and 380mg of potassium.
Folate supports normal blood cell formation, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Raw endive contains little fat or salt, although dressings and other additions can change the nutritional content of a dish. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
