Crop of the week – Radicchio

Radicchio (cichorium intybus var. foliosum) is a cultivated variety of common chicory, which is a member of the Asteraceae family and native to Europe. Commonly used in Italian cooking, the burgundy colored leafs are quite bitter, but this becomes less intense once cooked. High in vitamin C and K. Store unwashed in the coldest part of your fridge for 2-3 days.
