In the UK the name Radicchio is used to describe the red and variegated leaved chicories which are relatively new here. Suffolk Herbs introduced Radicchio many years ago and they have really gained in popularity. Radicchio are not only an indispensable new flavour in salad but their beautiful red and pink inner leaves form a most decorative garnish.
