About Cicoria
Cicoria, also known as Italian chicory or dandelion greens, is a nutrient-rich leafy vegetable prized in Mediterranean cuisine. With its slightly bitter flavor, it’s a staple in Italian cooking, commonly sautéed with olive oil, garlic, and chili flakes or used in salads and soups. Cicoria is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals like calcium and potassium, which support bone health, immunity, and cardiovascular function. It’s also a good source of fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety. Additionally, cicoria contains antioxidants that combat free radicals and contribute to overall health. While highly nutritious, its sharp bitterness may require proper preparation to suit some palates. Low in calories and fat-free, cicoria makes an excellent addition to a balanced diet, particularly in plant-based or heart-healthy meal plans.
