Jeepers creepers heres something for your peepers. lol Curly Endive! Its in Season and theres 3 Fantastic Reasons to Juice it. If you know anybody who suffers from eye disorders...read this: Curly Endive is a member of the chicory family, which includes radicchio, escarole, frisee and curly endive. It has a crisp texture and a sweet, nutty flavor with a pleasantly mild bitterness — great served raw. We recommend the Curly Endive for specific reasons. Dr. Walker told me a long time ago, that this was the best for eye health. The other edives (if theyre white) are kept deliberately out of the sun so their nutrient levels will not be as high.

Eye Health Tonic! (serves 1) 2 heads Curly Endive 1 large Hothouse Cucumber 1/2 inch fresh Ginger 2 cups Spinach 6 Carrots Juice these together, and you can also blend this, but you would have to remove the carrots as they make the blended drinks too thick and unattractive to drink. I dont recommend removing the carrots because they also benefit eye health. If you dont have a juicer, then remove the carrots from the tonic, because something is better than nothing.
