Endive/Escarole

[Seiryu]

So I went and got some Curly endive today. I remember reading someone here saying Escarole is actually the curly part of endive. I know this to not be true.

My question is, is escarole also an item I can feed regularly like endive?

Does it have anything that in excess can be bad like oxalic acids etc?

Yes! You can feed him that. It is ok for Russians anyways.

I made the comment which was misconstrued (or maybe I mistyped). There are three types of endive...Belgian, curly and escarole and all three have the same nutritonal value. These are the BEST greens you can feed to a tort.

I was told they are native to Africa...actually they are native to India.
