Endive, per 100 g: 17 kcal, 1.3 g protein, 3.4 g carbohydrate, 3.1 g fibre, 0.2 g fat. Figures are the USDA reference values for “Endive, raw”.
At 100 g it reaches the EU threshold to be called a source of vitamin k, folate, manganese, potassium. The table below gives the full composition, and every claim listed underneath is quoted from the EU register rather than written by us.
