About Radishes, red, raw

The radish (Raphanus sativus) is a crisp, peppery root vegetable in the cabbage and mustard family, eaten around the world for the refreshing bite and crunch it lends to a plate. It comes in a surprising range of shapes and colors, from the small, round, scarlet salad radish to the long white daikon used across Asia, the pink-and-green watermelon radish, the fiery black radish, and the slender French breakfast type.

Both the crunchy root and its leafy green tops are edible, the greens tasting a bit like peppery spinach. Radishes are very low in calories while supplying vitamin C, fiber, and beneficial plant compounds. They are most often eaten raw, thinly sliced into salads, scattered over tacos, or, in the classic French way, dipped in good butter and a sprinkle of salt, but roasting or pickling mellows their heat into something sweet and savory.

Choose firm radishes with fresh, perky leaves, trim the tops off before storing so the roots stay crisp, and keep them in the refrigerator.
