Overview of Endive Nutrition

Scientific Name: Cichorium endivia


Order: Asterales


Family: Asteraceae


Endive (Cichorium endivia) is a leaf vegetable in the Asteraceae, a large plant family that includes dandelions and sunflowers. Although it may have originated from Egypt, it is widely cultivated in Europe. It is an important ingredient in various European dishes, especially salads. Endives are often served as an appetizer as well. Raw endive is bitter and crisp, but after roasting, this leafy green has a sweet and nutty flavor. Endives contain pantothenic acid (18% daily value [DV]). Pantothenic acid plays a role in the healthy metabolism of cholesterol and fatty acids. This B-vitamin also supports proper hormone metabolism. In addition to pantothenic acid, endives are rich in vitamin K (289% DV), a necessary vitamin involved in bone health and the production of prothrombin. Prothrombin is a protein required for normal blood clotting. Folate (36% DV) is also present in endive. This B vitamin is important for amino acid metabolism and prevents neural tube defects in a developing fetus. Endive also contains manganese (21% DV). Reported as an antioxidant, this mineral is necessary for bone development and maintenance by supporting bone mineral density. This mineral may also be crucial for cellular respiration and glucose metabolism.
