ENDIVE*

Selection

• Endive with a milky-white appearance and a light yellow tinge on the leaf tips.
• Leaves are tightly close and overlapping each other.
• Leaves should not curl back or wilt.

Storage

• Endive should be stored in the dark at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five to a hundred percent and no mist.
• The typical shelf life is two to four weeks, which reduces with higher temperatures. Shelf life is two to four weeks at 36°F (2°C), one to two weeks at 41°F (5°C), and less than a week at 59°F (15°C).
• Leaf greening increases with increasing temperature and the presence of light. Development of green color leaf for endive is a quality defect.
• Endive is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Endive should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid russet spotting. Endive produces a very low level of ethylene.
• Endive is not sensitive to chilling injury and should be stored as cold as possible without freezing. The freezing point for the endive is 31°F (-0.5°C).
