Description/Taste
Flora Bella Farms is a small, 10-acre farm located in Three Rivers, CA. The farm has been certified organic since 1991 and it uses the fertile river valley soil and snowmelt to grow flavorful fruits and vegetables. Radicchio resembles a petite head of red cabbage producing variegated dark, burgundy leaves with contrasting white ribs. Growing from orange to grapefruit size and easy to peel, the smooth, crisp leaves offer a bitter flavor with a hint of spice. When cooked the vibrant burgundy color of the leaves fades to a deep brown hue, its bitter flavor is mellowed and rather takes on a subtle sweetness. Only occasionally is this type of chicory given a forced second growth, when utilized though this method will yield a Radicchio with a waxier sheen on its exterior leaves.
