The Endive Tres Fine Maraichere, 'Chicorium endiva', is the classic ingredient for mesclun mixes. Tres Fine Maraichere has very narrow, finely cut leaves that add dramatic texture to salads, and it is a very attractive ornamental. Once you have tasted a well grown Endive, you will never eat a salad without it. The smooth taste of blanched Endive is perfect to cleanse your palate between spicy dishes. Endive prefers fertile, moist, well drained soil with lost of organic matter. They will not tolerate weed competition.
