Freshness Test
Sometimes, Endives are listed as "Escarole" in stores. Choose small leaves. As with dandelion leaves, the bigger the leaf, the more bitter the taste.
Important
Due to the fact that Endive is a green juice, you will find it beneficial to have no more than about ¼ of your juice consisting of green juice.
Endive is very concentrated and so I try not use to any more than 1 ounce in every 8 ounce glass.
General
Endives, as with other greens including dandelion leaves, is best mixed with other vegetables such as carrots or apples.
