Radicchio

Radicchio is a bitter, red-leafed chicory common in Italian cuisine where it’s used raw in salads, grilled, or braised to soften its flavor. It’s known for its crisp texture, striking color and slightly peppery, bitter bite that pairs well with cheeses and citrus. Nutritionally Radicchio is very low in calories and a source of micronutrients, most notably 255µg of vitamin K per 100g, which contributes to normal blood clotting and bone health. It also provides a small amount of fiber and trace minerals, with very little fat. From a health perspective, Radicchio is a nutrient-dense leafy vegetable — low in energy but supplying vitamin K and bitter phytochemicals that may support digestion; it also contains modest amounts of plant omega-3s and polyphenols that act as antioxidants.
