Organic Lettuce – Radicchio (250g) Australia

Treasured in Italian cuisine since the Renaissance, radicchio stands out for its bold burgundy leaves and pleasantly bitter flavor. Its crisp texture makes it a favourite in both raw and cooked dishes.

Radicchio is rich in anthocyanins, potent antioxidants that combat inflammation and protect against cellular damage. Its high vitamin K content supports bone health and blood clotting, while its fibre aids digestion and promotes gut health. Radicchio is also a good source of inulin, a prebiotic that fosters healthy gut bacteria and supports overall metabolic health.

Barry’s tips: Radicchio wedges can be grilled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a smoky, caramelized side dish. Or chop and toss into a mixed green salad for a pop of color and flavour.
