Escarole and Beans
Key Points
- For best buy, look for escarole with bright green leaves with no wilting, bruising or yellowing.
- To prepare escarole, remove any tough or damaged outer leaves. Cut off the root and tear leaves into large pieces. Rinse and dry well.
- To store fresh, wrap unwashed greens in a damp paper towel and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Escarole contains vitamin A, which is good for healthy eyes and skin.
