About Radishes, oriental, raw
Daikon (Raphanus sativus) is a large, mild white radish widely used across East Asian cooking, with a long cylindrical root that can grow well over a foot. Crisp and juicy with a gentle peppery bite far milder than a small red radish, it is sometimes called mooli or white radish. Daikon is very low in calories and supplies vitamin C, fiber, and enzymes that aid digestion. It is endlessly versatile: shredded raw into salads and slaws, pickled into the tangy yellow takuan and Korean banchan, grated as a refreshing garnish for fried foods, and simmered until silky and translucent in soups, stews, and the Japanese hot pot oden.
The leafy green tops are edible too and can be cooked like other greens. Choose firm, heavy daikon with smooth, glossy skin, and store it wrapped in the refrigerator, keeping the roots and any tops separate.
