About Radicchio, raw
Radicchio is a bitter, garnet-colored Italian chicory with a papery crunch and a flavor that can catch first-timers off guard. The bitterness is real and intentional - it softens with grilling or roasting, and it provides contrast in salads that might otherwise be monotonous. Nutritionally light: very low in calories, minimal fat, modest carbs, and a small amount of protein for a leafy green. It pairs naturally with sweet-acidic dressings, salty cheeses like gorgonzola, and walnuts, all of which round out its sharpness. A standard ingredient in Italian insalata mista.
