How to Pick

Select radicchio with vibrant, deep red or purple leaves free from wilting or browning. Look for tightly packed heads and crisp, firm texture for the freshest and most flavorful results. Avoid any signs of discoloration or softness, as these indicate a less desirable quality.

How to Store

Radicchio should be stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and crispness. Keep it in a perforated plastic bag to allow for proper air circulation. Avoid storing radicchio near fruits that produce ethylene gas, such as apples and bananas, as this can cause the radicchio to spoil more quickly. Use within a few days for best quality.

Where it’s Sourced

Our radicchio is grown in the fertile soils of Victoria and Tasmania, where the cool climate and rich nutrients contribute to its vibrant color and bold flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Add a pop of color and flavor to your salads by adding thinly sliced radicchio. Its slightly bitter taste pairs well with creamy dressings and bold ingredients like blue cheese, bacon, and walnuts. You can also grill or roast radicchio to bring out its natural sweetness and add a unique twist to your vegetable dishes.
