Radicchio (each)

Radicchio is a distinctive leafy vegetable known for its deep red-purple colour and slightly bitter flavour. It belongs to the chicory family and is often used in salads, grilled dishes, or as a colourful garnish. Radicchio adds a crisp texture and a unique taste that balances well with sweeter ingredients like pears, walnuts, or honey-based dressings. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fibre, making it a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. When purchasing radicchio, look for heads that are firm with vibrant colouring and avoid those with wilted or brown leaves. Store it in the refrigerator and use within a few days for best freshness.
