Radicchio should feel firm and robust, not at all as if its wilting, so avoid any soft or slimy feeling leaves.
Ultimately, you're looking for a tight, firm head of radicchio that feels heavy for its size.
The leaves should look vigorous, with a gorgeous fade in color from deep purple to off-white. Ugghhhh such a pretty color! 😍
Avoid any leaves that seem to be going yellow or brown.
Radicchio does best in a humid environment, so try wrapping in a moist cloth or paper towel before storing in a plastic bag.
