The studies were conducted on two varieties of endive: 'Cigal' and 'Marconi' during veget ative of season: 2009 and 2010. The research material was assessed for: dry mat ter, protein, dietary fibre, ash, selected minerals (Ca, Mg, K, P, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu) leve ls and ant ioxidants (vitamin C, phenols components) contents. Also, the calculation of the energy value, carbohydrates and the ant ioxidant potential of ABTS. were performed. The endive variety 'Cigal' was characterized higher content of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc and phenols components. While variety 'Marconi' contained more of dry matter, carbohydrat es, diet ary fibre, vitamin C, iron, copper and higher antioxidant activity.
