About Radicchio, raw
Radicchio is a striking red-and-white leaf that looks like a small, dense purple cabbage but is actually a type of chicory. Grown mostly in Italy, it is loved for a bold, pleasantly bitter flavor that adds contrast and sophistication wherever it appears.
It contains about 26 calories per 100 grams and brings vitamin K, folate, copper and the anthocyanin pigments responsible for its deep color — the same antioxidant family found in red cabbage and berries. Its bitterness comes from beneficial plant compounds rather than anything harmful.
Raw, its crisp bitter leaves balance rich, sweet and creamy ingredients in salads — classic with pear, walnuts and blue cheese. Grilling or roasting tames the bitterness considerably, mellowing it into something smoky and almost sweet, which makes it a fine warm vegetable as well as a salad leaf.
