Radicchio Cichorium intybus
Radicchio, Cichorium intybus, is a striking leafy vegetable known for its compact heads of deep red leaves with white veins and a slightly bitter, nutty flavour. Popular in salads, grilling, and roasting, it adds colour and complexity to dishes. This cool-season crop thrives in fertile, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, producing crisp, decorative, and nutritious heads.
