Fall Italian Organic Radicchio & Chicory Collection

Approximately 5 lb Collection · Harvested to Order • Ships Nationwide

Fall is the season when Italian radicchios and chicories come into their own. As the weather cools, their leaves develop crisp texture, rich color, and the range of flavors that makes this family of vegetables so rewarding to cook with—from mild and juicy to pleasantly bitter. At Norwich Meadows Farm, we grow a diverse selection for the fall harvest and pick each collection to order.

Each box includes a rotating assortment of the organic chicories and radicchios available that week. Depending on the harvest, your collection may include Castelfranco, Treviso, Sugarloaf, Puntarelle, Escarole, Frisée, Dandelion Greens, and other specialty varieties grown on our farm. The mix changes as the season progresses; specific varieties are not guaranteed.

Enjoy the tender leaves in salads, then take the sturdier heads to the grill, roasting pan, or skillet. Their distinctive bitterness pairs beautifully with olive oil, citrus, beans, cheese, and the hearty foods of fall.

These are fresh vegetables for cooking and eating. We do not sell seeds or plants.

Your Collection May Include...

Castelfranco Radicchio
Creamy leaves flecked with burgundy make Castelfranco as beautiful as it is useful in the kitchen. Its relatively mild flavor and tender crunch are especially good in salads with pears, apples, nuts, and cheese.

Treviso Radicchio
Long burgundy leaves and crisp white ribs bring color and structure to a salad. Treviso is also excellent grilled or roasted, when its edges caramelize and its bitterness mellows.

Sugarloaf Chicory
Dense, juicy leaves with a comparatively gentle chicory flavor. Sugarloaf holds its crunch after dressing, making it a favorite for chopped salads, sandwiches, and a distinctive Caesar. It can also be grilled or sautéed.

Puntarelle
Prized in Rome for its crisp shoots and pleasantly bitter leaves. Slice the shoots thinly for Insalata di Puntarelle with anchovy, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar, or cook the leaves as you would other chicory greens.

Escarole
A versatile Italian staple with broad leaves and a mild bitterness. Use the tender inner leaves raw, or sauté the outer leaves with garlic and olive oil. Escarole is especially good simmered with white beans or added to soup.

Frisée
Fine, curled leaves add texture and a lively bitter note to mixed salads. Try it with a mustard vinaigrette, a poached egg, or warm roasted vegetables.

Dandelion Greens
Assertive greens that stand up to garlic, olive oil, lemon, and chile. Serve them sautéed or mix a few young leaves into a salad for a bolder flavor.

Why Fall Radicchio?

Cool-weather chicories belong on the fall table. Their crisp leaves bring freshness to meals built around roasted squash, potatoes, mushrooms, beans, and braised meats. Their bitterness also balances rich ingredients such as aged cheese, walnuts, olive oil, and butter.

A single collection gives you several ways to explore that range: start with a bright salad, grill a halved head of Treviso or Sugarloaf, and finish the more robust greens in a skillet or pot of beans.

From Salad Bowl to Roasting Pan

  • Make a fall salad with Castelfranco, pears or apples, toasted walnuts, and aged cheese.
  • Grill or roast Treviso and finish it with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Parmigiano Reggiano.
  • Use crisp Sugarloaf in a Caesar salad or a hearty chopped salad.
  • Add Frisée to a salad with roasted squash and a mustard vinaigrette.
  • Sauté Escarole or Dandelion Greens with garlic, olive oil, and chile flakes.
  • Prepare Puntarelle with anchovy, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar.
  • Serve chicories alongside white beans, roasted chicken, grilled fish, or polenta.
