Mangosteen
The Purple mangosteen, botanical name Garcinia magostana, simply referred to as mangosteen, is an ultra-tropical slow growing evergreen tree that is cultivated for its edible fruit.
Spring Onions
Spring onions are most often utilized raw. The whole onion can be flash blanched and grilled, which brings out more the robust and sweet elements of the onions, and makes them a bolder pair for fish and meats
Grower
Radicchio is available year round with a peak season mid-winter to early spring.
Radicchio, pronounced rahd-EEK-ee-o, produces dark, burgundy leaves with contrasting white ribs. This deep red, round vegetable resembles a small head of cabbage. Growing from orange to grapefruit size and easy-to-peel, the smooth, crisp leaves offer a bittersweet flavor.
Rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium, radicchio provides a source of fiber.
Cooking radicchio brings out the vegetable's natural sweetness but it can also be served fresh. Grill radicchio halves and combine with cooked white beans and balsamic vinaigrette. Use whole radicchio leaves as a cup or wrap, and fill with chicken salad or pasta salad. Grill radiccho halves, chop and toss with sliced pear and manchego cheese for a side salad. Cook chopped radicchio with onions, potatoes and stock, then puree into soup. Use as a substitute for Belgian endive or escarole. To store, keep dry and refrigerate for one to two weeks.
Dating back to the sixteenth century, there are two popular varieties include radicchio di Verona and radicchio di Treviso. A low-growing plant, radicchio is grown similar to head lettuce and requires a long cool season. Radicchio is grown in California, New Jersey, Mexico and Italy.
