Density 96 · +3 vs Vegetables medianRadicchio, the deep red, slightly bitter chicory leaf, comes in at 96 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, Elite band, ranking 23rd of 60 vegetables. Its main standout is vitamin E at 15% of the daily value per 100 grams, a good rather than excellent showing, set against only 23 calories.
It is typically torn into salads for color and bite, or lightly grilled to soften its bitterness. A shredded cup weighs about 40 grams, a small amount that still fits easily into a mixed greens bowl. No limits were flagged for radicchio in this dataset, though its single standout nutrient makes it more of a flavor and color addition than a nutrient dense staple on its own.
