The Salad King variety of endive features dark green, curled leaves with a distinctive, pleasant bitter flavor. While it can be cooked as a leaf vegetable, it is most commonly enjoyed raw in salads. To reduce bitterness, the leaves are often blanched. This variety is known for its good resistance to bolting.
