Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw radicchio is safe and beneficial during pregnancy when washed properly. Its purple leaves provide vitamin K, dietary folate, antioxidants, and fiber that support blood clotting and gut health. CDC guidelines emphasize washing leafy chicory heads under cold running water to eliminate soil bacteria and potential parasites like Toxoplasma. Toss shredded radicchio into salads with citrus dressing, or grill lightly to mellow its natural bitterness.
