People don’t give much thought to the purple leaves in their salad mix, but maybe they should. That bitter, leafy vegetable is likely radicchio, and it's kinda having a moment.
How the Pacific Northwest is leading a radicchio renaissance
Grown from late-November to early March, radicchio is touted by many Northwest growers as the poster child for eating local produce in the winter. And it comes in stunning colors and varieties. "It's very beautiful," radicchio evangelist Lane Selman says, "and just pops in this winter time when things can be more dull."
