Radicchio Cosmetics and Beyond
Radicchio is recommended for its purifying and anti-inflammatory action. In addition to boosting immune defenses, this prized variety of chicory hydrates the body and cleanses the body of toxins.
Rich in fiber, potassium and vitamins A and C, radicchio aids digestion and helps strengthen the immune system. In addition to its positive effects on skin care, radicchio is a highly recommended food for a healthy and tasty diet. The delicate bitter taste of radicchio is indeed very characteristic and represents one of the most important protagonists of Venetian gastronomy.
With its light crunchy texture, the tasty chicory can be eaten raw in salads, but it is also excellent grilled and seasoned with a drizzle of olive oil.
In addition to being a highly appreciated food in vegetarian and vegan cuisine, the unique aroma of radicchio blends very well in the preparation of meat dishes, such as scaloppine, baked rabbit, beef rolls, and delicious risotto with sausage.
