Seasons/Availability
Castel Franco radicchio is an heirloom Italian winter crop, with limited availability between November and March.
Description/Taste
Like radicchio, Castel Franco has a bitter flavor but it is much more mild. The heads are uniquely colored-- each butter-yellow leave is dotted with purple spots and reddish veins. Castel Franco is named after a Northern Italian town in the province of Treviso. Individual heads are rose or flower-shaped, with the leaves folding over each other.
Applications
Castel Franco raddichio is mild enough to be served raw and may be added to fresh green salads.
