ESCAROLE

Escarole is a member of the chicory family and closely related to radicchio and Belgian endive.

Escarole has crisp leaves with a rather sharp, bitter taste, and should be mixed with other greens when used in salads.

The inner leaves are more tender and less bitter.

Escarole pairs will in salads with fruit (pears, apples, figs, etc.) and strong flavored cheeses.

Escarole should be stored at 35 degrees F, and will keep for up to 3 weeks.
