Frisee, also known as curly endive or chicory, is a leafy green vegetable that is often used in salads and other culinary dishes. It is characterized by its curly, frizzy leaves, which have a slightly bitter taste. Frisee belongs to the chicory family and is closely related to other leafy greens such as radicchio and escarole.
Frisee is popular in French cuisine and is often used in salads to add texture and a refreshingly bitter flavor. The leaves are crisp and range in color from green to yellow. Its distinctive appearance and taste make it a favorite ingredient in salads. Frisee pairs particularly well with other greens, bacon, eggs, and vinaigrette.
