Radicchio, an Italian leaf chicory, is distinctive for its rich, burgundy-colored leaves with contrasting white veins. This versatile vegetable offers an earthy, bitter flavor profile that becomes notably milder when cooked.
Whether incorporated in a salad mix for a bold taste and a splash of color or grilled to tame its inherent bitterness, radicchio is a delightful addition to any dish. It's also packed with health benefits, being a rich source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
