To harvest the tender center leaves at the heart of the plant, cut directly at the base of the leaf and collect. Outer leaves might be bitter but cooking or blanching can reduce bitterness.
Taste and Use

Endive lettuce is great as a salad green to add dimension to the mix. Leaves can be bitter, so many prefer the tender inner leaves at the heart of the plant as they taste sweeter. Cook or blanch mature outer leaves to reduce bitterness.
