Etymology

The word 'escarole' comes from the French term 'escarole', which is derived from the Latin 'cichorium', referring to the plant genus that includes chicory and endive. The cultivation of escarole dates back to ancient times, with origins in the Mediterranean region. This leafy green has been a part of European culinary traditions for centuries, prized for its rich flavor and nutritional value. Traditionally used in Mediterranean diets, escarole was introduced to various cuisines and has grown in popularity in contemporary cooking, where it is appreciated for its versatility in salads, sautรฉed dishes, and soups. The plant itself thrives in cooler temperatures, which allows for a longer harvest season, making it a staple in many seasonal dishes.
