The technique for growing blanched Belgian endives was accidentally discovered in the 1850s in Schaerbeek, Belgium. Endive is grown completely underground or indoors in the absence of sunlight in order to prevent the leaves from turning green and opening up (etiolation). The plant has to be kept just below the soil surface as it grows, only showing the very tip of the leaves. Today France is the largest producer of endive.
