Radicchio, otherwise known as Chioggia Radicchio is an Italian, red leaf chicory. It is similar in shape and size to a small cabbage, identified by its firm, deep crimson leaves, white inner ribs and interior flesh. Its leaves have a slightly bitter flavor, while the Radicchio itself should be firm and heavy for its size. During the winter months, you may see a green tinge in the white areas of the head; however, this does not impact overall quality.

Storage
– Store immediately in the coldest part, of the walk-in cooler. Radicchio will wilt from heat exposure (above 40 degrees).
– Store in the original carton away from drafts from the cooler fan. Radicchio will suffer dehydration damage from direct exposure to the cooler fans.
– Store away from ethylene producing fruits. Ethylene can cause cabbage to brown and shorten the shelf life
Handling:
– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.
– Do not soak. Excessive moisture will cause the cabbage to bleed into other products and not to be crisp.
– Avoid placing the case or raw product on non-sanitized kitchen counter tops to help prevent the potential for cross contamination.
Preparation:
– Prepare as needed. Try not to use a product from the previous day. Store product in the whole head form, pre-cut heads will brown prematurely.
– Always use sharp, sanitized knives to prep. Cutting with dull knives will cause excessive cell damage and hasten browning.
– Remove or cut away decay.
– Store prepared product in the refrigerator.
