A broad-leaved cultivar of Cichorium endivia

An heirloom cultivar of Cichorium intybus

Endive (/ˈɛndaɪv/ or /ˈɑːndiv/)^[1] is a leaf vegetable belonging to the genus Cichorium, which includes several similar bitter leafed vegetables. Species include endive (Cichorium endivia), Cichorium pumilum, and common chicory (Cichorium intybus). Common chicory includes chicory types such as radicchio, puntarelle, and Belgian endive.

There is considerable confusion between Cichorium endivia and Cichorium intybus.^[2]^[3]

Endive is rich in many vitamins and minerals, especially in folate and vitamins A and K, and is high in fiber.^{[citation needed]}

Cichorium endivia

There are two main varieties of cultivated C. endivia endive:

Curly endive, or frisée (var crispum). This type has narrow, green, curly outer leaves. It is sometimes called chicory in the United States and is called chicorée frisée in French. Further confusion results from the fact that frisée also refers to greens lightly wilted with oil.
Escarole, or broad-leaved endive (var latifolia), has broad, pale green leaves and is less bitter than the other varieties. Varieties or names include broad-leaved endive, Bavarian endive, Batavian endive, grumolo, scarola, and scarole. It is eaten like other greens, sauteed, chopped into soups and stews, or as part of a green salad.

Cichorium intybus endive is popular in Europe, and is also known as leaf chicory.
