Ridiculously healthy, with its dappled red and white leaves, this softball-sized radicchio has a slightly peppery taste and no bitterness. It holds up well when cooked, too! Roast or grill wedges for a hearty side dish; pair with some Italian white beans; or chop and add to a raw salad. You can even add it to pasta!

The Marchini family has been cultivating the fertile soils of California since the 1920s, growing Italian specialties enjoyed around the world. For Joe and Jeff Marchini, sustainability is key to their farming practices, which include rotating crops and testing the soil to ensure both current and future productivity. They also conserve water by utilizing drip and sprinkler irrigation systems whenever possible.
