Radicchio (/rəˈdɪkioʊ/ or /rəˈdiːkioʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [raˈdikkjo]) is a leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus, Asteraceae), sometimes known as Italian chicory, and is a perennial. It is grown as a leaf vegetable which usually has white-veined red leaves. It has a bitter and spicy taste, which mellows when it is grilled or roasted. In Northen Italy the cultivation of chicory is very old and has always been practiced, but poorly documented because it was considered "the food of the poor people." Today, however, radicchio has become a gastronomic excellence and part of the menu of the top italian chefs.

Pliny the Elder (AD 23 –AD 79, roman author and naturalist) claimed radicchio was useful as a blood purifier and an aid for insomniacs in Naturalis Historia. In fact, radicchio contains intybin, a sedative/analgesic, as well as a type of flavonoid called anthocyanin, and vitamins B, C and K, calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium. Modern cultivation of the plant began in the fifteenth century, expecially in the Veneto region of Italy. |
