Healthy, because
The bitter substances in endive stimulate the production of bile in the liver and digestion, especially of fats. They also prevent cravings by curbing the appetite.
Even smarter
If the endive season is over or you do not like the slightly bitter taste, you can use another type of lettuce, for example, baby spinach, romaine, lamb's lettuce or frisée lettuce.
