Is endive more nutritious raw or cooked?

Answer

Cooking vegetables can reduce the amounts of some vitamins (like vitamin C), but can make other nutrients more easily used by your body (like lycopene in tomatoes). If you prefer cooked endive instead of raw, cooking it quickly is best. Cooking on the grill, in a stir-fry, sautéed or baking are ways endive can be enjoyed. Regardless of how you prepare endive, the important thing is that you are incorporating it into your diet. Check out our Top Ten Ways to Enjoy Endive!
