Radicchio, Treviso, Red Chicory, Chicory Seeds
Radicchio is a perennial cultivated form of leaf chicory sometimes known as Italian chicory because of its common use in Italian cuisine. It is grown as a leaf vegetable and usually has colorful white-veined red leaves that form a head. Radicchio has a bitter and spicy taste which mellows if it is grilled or roasted.
Tall and pointed, it looks like a large red endive, with a similarly mild flavor. The sturdy, narrow leaves are made for scooping up dips.
