Radicchio
Radicchio is a leafy chicory with crisp burgundy or red leaves and white ribs, eaten raw or cooked to soften its bitterness.
About Radicchio
Radicchio is a group of leafy chicories, commonly sold as compact heads with burgundy or red leaves and white ribs. The leaves are crisp when raw and have a distinctly bitter, slightly peppery flavour; bitterness varies among types and growing conditions.
It is eaten raw in salads or cooked by grilling, roasting, or sautéing, when the leaves soften and their bitterness may mellow. Forms include round and elongated heads, as well as trimmed leaves; cultivar and freshness affect colour, texture, and flavour.
