About Belgian Endive

Belgian endive is actually a type of chicory, also called Witloof or Brussels chicory. Its white color is due to a cultivation method that excludes light. Certainly, the absence of color does not mean a lack of nutritional value, as we can see from numerous examples like garlic or onions, just to name a couple.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
