They are, unfortunately, bitter, but not so much as radicchio! You can eat them fresh on salads (combine with Romaine and Sprouts), or you can cook them as you would spinach. If you cook them, a little garlic and butter can soften the flavor, or if you prefer, a little vinegar tossed on it provides a nice flavor contrast. One or the other though, not both!

Ever know someone who, maybe you didn't like them so much, until you learned more about them? What an awesome point of view!
