Radicchio, Rosa

Rosa radicchio is a unique variety of radicchio, a type of leafy chicory, known for its striking pink color and delicate, tender leaves. Unlike the more common red radicchio, Rosa radicchio has a pale pink hue, which gives it a distinct appearance. It has a mildly bitter taste, slightly less intense than other radicchio varieties, making it versatile for both raw and cooked dishes. The leaves are often used in salads for a pop of color and flavor, but they can also be grilled, roasted, or sautéed. Rosa radicchio is valued for its visual appeal and its ability to add a slightly bitter, refreshing note to various dishes.
