Working on catching up a bit, Radicchio is the new food for late December, but would still be in season now. 🙂
Food facts: 
- Is from the chicory family
- Has four times more antioxidants than romaine lettuce
- There are red and green varieties, as well as oval and round
- Red varieties are more nutrient dense than green varieties
- Tends to be very bitter, but roasting or grilling it helps make it much less bitter
