Daikon Radish

Daikon Radish

EverydayFresh

Daikon radish is a large, mild-flavored root vegetable characterized by its elongated cylindrical shape and crisp white flesh. Unlike smaller peppery red radishes, it offers a subtly sweet, slightly tangy flavor when raw that mellows further when cooked. This low-calorie vegetable provides vitamin C, fiber, and digestive enzymes like amylase, while its versatility spans raw applications in salads, pickling, or simmering in East Asian soups and stews. The edible leafy greens are often removed before sale but can be prepared similarly to other cooking greens.
