FAQ

Can you eat radicchio as a salad?

You can use radicchio as the primary leafy base of your salad or combine it with your preferred lettuce (like romaine or iceberg) for a more flavorful dish. You can also switch things up by grilling or sautéing it.

Does cooking radicchio make it less bitter?

Roasted radicchio is a side dish that requires little more adornment than a simple drizzle of aged balsamico and extra-virgin olive oil. Serve with fresh burrata and grilled bread to complement. Cooking radicchio reduces its bitterness and brings out a mellow sweetness similar to red cabbage.
