ESCAROLE- GENERAL INFORMATION

    Escarole  is a flat-leafed cousin of curly chicory  and

has
 a  similar  bitter flavor.   The  leaves  are  thicker,

flatter
 and  greener,  but  it  also  has  a  yellow heart.

Escarole
 is  used  in  salads  and  as  a cooked vegetable.

Treat
and use it as you would curly chicory.   Both  chicory

and
escarole, when limp, can be revived in ice cold water.
