Vegetable Seeds – Radicchio – Chicory Palla Rossa is a mediterranean favourite that produces a tangy, slightly bitter flavoured leaf.
A real favourite in Italian cuisine, Chicory is usually eaten grilled with olive oil, or mixed into dishes such as risotto.
It can also be served with pasta, or be used in strudel, as a poultry stuffing or an ingredient in tapenade.
Chicory also makes a superb, vibrant ingredient in salads!
Chicory’s roots, after roasting and grinding, can be used as a coffee substitute or coffee additive.
As the round heads mature they develop that beautiful red colouration.
