Winter Storage of Radicchio: Why Cold Room Doors Make All the Difference
Radicchio is a winter vegetable deeply appreciated for its vibrant color, crisp texture, and slightly bitter flavor. However, it is also extremely sensitive to temperature variations and humidity levels. Maintaining its freshness requires a meticulously controlled environment, which is why cold room doors are essential in any refrigerated storage facility handling radicchio.
Radicchio can quickly lose its trademark crunch and vivid red-purple color if exposed to improper conditions. Temperature fluctuations encourage wilting, browning, and moisture loss. High-performance cold room doors ensure that the storage environment remains stable, preventing external air infiltration and guaranteeing an uninterrupted cold chain. MIV designs reliable, customized solutions that seal perfectly and maintain ideal temperatures throughout the winter months.
Humidity is another critical factor. Radicchio requires a high relative humidity level to avoid dehydration and leaf deterioration. Poor-quality doors compromise this delicate balance by allowing condensation or warm air to enter, reducing shelf life. With MIV’s advanced cold room doors, producers and distributors can maintain immaculate storage conditions, ensuring radicchio arrives at markets and consumers’ kitchens with freshness and appearance fully preserved.
