Tardivo is the most elegant variety of Radicchio. It has a crisp, juicy, and slightly chewy texture. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked and offer a mild, bittersweet flavor with earthy and faintly vegetal notes.
Tardivo is rich in potassium, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin A, and copper, along with fiber, vitamin C, and other key nutrients. Its bitter flavor comes from lactucopicrin, while anthocyanins in the red leaves provide antioxidant benefits.
