How to choose the best:
Radicchio

Touch

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.
