Witlof (chopped)

Witlof, also known as Belgian endive, is a small, torpedo-shaped vegetable with tightly packed, pale yellow-white leaves, grown in darkness to prevent it from turning green and developing excess bitterness. It is eaten raw in salads for a crisp, slightly bitter bite, or braised and grilled, which mellows its bitterness further. Its compact, cylindrical shape distinguishes it from looser, curlier chicory varieties.

Chopping breaks an ingredient into pieces, which changes how much air gets trapped between them compared with the whole form.
