The Frisee is a greenish-yellow lettuce that blossoms into a large, flat rose. The crop is made up of broad, loose leaves, where the inner leaves tend to be more yellow than the outer ones. Although the Frisee has similar visual characteristics to the common endive, you can tell them apart by the Frisee’s thin, narrow and curly leaves.
You can use this crisp, bitter green in salads or cook it as a side dish. The outer leaves are green and somewhat bitter; the pale inner leaves are more tender and mild.
