  Radicchio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radicchio (Cichorium intybus, Asteraceae) is a leaf chicory, sometimes known as Italian chicory.
Radicchio plants are taken from the earth and placed in water in darkened sheds, where lack of light and ensuing inhibition of chlorophyll production cause the plants to lose their green pigmentation.
The varieties of radicchio are named after the Italian regions where they originate: the most ubiquitous variety in the United States is radicchio di Chioggia, which is maroon, round, and about the size of a grapefruit.

Radicchio should be precooled to 34 F soon after harvest and stored at 32F and 98 to 100% relative humidity for retention of quality and shelf life.
To aid vacuum cooling, clean water may be sprinkled on the heads of radicchio prior to carton closure if they are dry and warmer than 75 F. Radicchio is highly perishable and deteriorates rapidly with increasing temperature, and as the respiration rate increases, storage life decreases.
At 32 F, radicchio can be held in good condition for 2 to 3 weeks, the time period depending on maturity, quality, and handling condition of the radicchio at harvest.

 Radicchio - Steve Manfredi - www.smh.com.au
According to my Dizionario di Gastronomia by Antonio Piccinardi, radicchio is the generic word for those varieties of the chicory family produced by "forced" cultivation - a complex growing method that encourages the plant to exhibit the desired bright red colours.
On its own or added to other leaves, radicchio brings colour and a distinctive flavour to salads, but my most memorable radicchio dishes are those produced when its leaves are cooked and especially when they're grilled.
Even though radicchio is available all year round, the perfect bittersweet balance is achieved during the colder winter months.
