Radicchio Red – Whole

Radicchio is a member of the chicory family, a group of cabbage-like, leafy vegetables that are known for their spicy bitterness. Radicchio is no different. When eaten raw, its white veined, purple leaves have a delightfully sharp and bitter flavor. It’s also pretty common to see radicchio cooked, either by boiling, sautéing, roasting, or grilling. The cooking brings out some natural sweetness while still providing that iconic bitter kick.
