Radicchio ndi masamba osamvetsetseka kwambiri. Si la letesi, osati kabichi (nthawi zina zimasokonezeka ndi kabichi wofiira), koma zimakhala zowawa pang'ono, zokhala ndi zokometsera chicory, zogwirizana ndi Belgian endive.
Radicchio wakhala akukhalapo kwa nthawi ndithu: Pliny Wamkulu akufotokoza malembo ofunika kwambiri a chigawo cha Veneto mu zolemba zake za Naturalis Historia, cha m'ma 79 AD, powona kuti kuwonjezera pa kukhala chokoma, ndibwino kuti asagone ndi kuyeretsa magazi; Amanenanso kuti anali Aigupto omwe adagonjetsa radicchio kuchokera ku mchimwene wake wamkulu, chicory.
M'zaka zamkati zapitazi, anthu amitundu yambiri anali otchuka kwambiri, omwe amalandira chilichonse chomwe chingawonjezeko zowonjezera ndi zokoma ku zosavuta, makamaka chakudya cha zamasamba chomwe chimayendetsedwa ndi malamulo awo. Osati kuti chomeracho chinali chokwanira ku khitchini yokonzeka; Zinkatchulidwanso kwambiri pa matebulo a anthu olemekezeka, onse ophika ndi obiriwira: Mu 1537, wolemba mabuku wa ku Italy, Pietro Aretino analangiza mnzake kuti azibzala m'mundamo mwake, akuti adakonda kwambiri kuti akhale "lau-lau laufulu komanso laulemerero."
Ngakhale radicchio sizinali zosiyana ndi radicchio rosso tikudziwa lero: radicchio yamakono, ndi masamba ake olemera akugwedezeka mu vinyo wofiira ndi woyera, inapangidwa m'zaka za m'ma 1860 ndi Francesco Van Den Borre, Njira zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito poyera ku Belgium ku zomera zomwe zakhala zikuzungulira ku Treviso. Njirayi, yotchedwa imbianchimento, imakhudzidwa kwambiri: zomera zimakololedwa kumapeto kwake, masamba awo akunja amakonzedwa ndi kutayidwa, amadzazidwa mumabasiketi a waya, ndipo amaima kwa masiku angapo mumdima wamdima ndi mizu yawo yasambitsidwa poyenda mosavuta madzi a kasupe omwe amachokera pansi pamadzi ozizira pafupifupi 15 C (60 F).
Pamene akusamba, masamba a m'mitima ya radicchio amatenga vinyo wofiira omwe amawasiyanitsa (pozama kwambiri, yofiira kwambiri). Panthawi imeneyi mlimi amalephera kumanga masamba, amachotsa masamba akunja, amachotsa mizu (gawo lachikondi lomwe lili pansipa ndi lokoma), ndipo limatumiza radicchio kugulitsa.
Pali mitundu yambiri ya radicchio; Nazi zofunika kwambiri pano:
- Radicchio Rosso di Treviso. Yabwino kwambiri, imabwera mu mitundu iŵiri: Poyamba , yomwe ili ndi masamba ofiira ofiira ndi nthiti zoyera zomwe zimapanga gulu lophatikizana, ndi Tardivo , yomwe ili ndi nthiti zambiri komanso masamba omwe amawombera. Kuyamba kumakhala koyamba poyamba, ndipo ngakhale kuli kokongola kwambiri kuyang'ana, tardivo ndi yowonongeka kwambiri, ndi zomveka zowawa kwambiri. Pomwe Precoce ndi Tardivo tsopano akusangalala ndi IGP ( Indicazione Geografica Protetta , Protected Geographical Indication) udindo, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti zikhoza kugulitsidwa ngati zimapangidwa pafupi ndi Treviso, motsogoleredwa ndi Consorzio Radicchio di Treviso.

- Radicchio Rosso di Chioggia anabadwira ku Variegato; Ali ndi masamba ofiira ofiira okhala ndi nthiti zoyera, koma ndi ozungulira kuposa Radicchio di Treviso; Ndizophatikizidwa, ndipo chifukwa chake zikufanana ndi mutu wa kabichi mu mawonekedwe. Tsopano ndi radicchio rosso wamkulu ku Italy, ndipo (maola) ogulitsidwa monga radicchio di Treviso m'madera ena a ku Ulaya. Ndinaziwonanso m'mabuku a makina a ku America.

Radicchio, monga pafupifupi china chirichonse ku Italy, ndi nyengo, kuonekera m'misika kumapeto kwa November ndikukhala m'nyengo yozizira; Zimakhala zopweteka kwambiri pambuyo pa chisanu, choncho ndibwino kuyembekezera ngati nyengo yozizira imakhala yofatsa. Zaperekedwanso ku Napa Valley ya California ndipo ikudziwika ku US. Zodabwitsa; ndi zabwino ndithu. Ndibwino kwa inu; Kuwidwa mtima kwa radicchio kumabwera chifukwa cha intybin, zomwe zimayambitsa chilakolako cha kudya ndi kugaya, ndipo zimakhala ngati tonic kwa magazi ndi chiwindi.
Tsopano kuti mwagula radicchio, chochita ndi chiyani?
Mukazifikitsa kunyumba, ziyikeni mu gawo lachisanu cha firiji. Zidzakhala masiku angapo, ndipo ngati zikuwoneka bwino, ziyike mu kapu yamadzi - mphukira imakhala osati pawonetsero; imakhalanso ndi zakudya zomwe zimadyetsa masamba ndipo zimatha kuyamwa madzi.
Mukamayambitsa mizu musanagwiritse ntchito radicchio, musataye, koma muzigwiritsa ntchito monga momwe mungagwiritsire ntchito radish kapena muzu wa masamba.
Njira yanga yomwe ndimakonzekerere ndi yophweka, yofufumitsa ndi yowonongeka ndi mafuta osadziwika bwino a azitona komanso nyanja yamchere. Zophweka, komabe chimodzi mwa zinthu zabwino kwambiri zomwe ndakhala ndikulawapo.
