✦ Very low calorie
✦ Vitamin K source
✦ Anthocyanins
✦ Folate
Radicchio is a red-leaved chicory with a bitter, slightly peppery taste. It is very low in calories and provides folate, vitamin K and anthocyanin antioxidants that give it its red colour.

Preparation note
Eat raw to keep its colour and bitter compounds; brief grilling softens bitterness if preferred, though some anthocyanins are lost with heat.
