Description
Daikon, which means great root in Japanese, has a crispy, crunchy texture with a sweeter, less pungent flavor than most radishes. Its a common ingredient in many Asian dishes, including Korean kimchi and Japanese pickles. Daikon can be shredded and eaten raw, or added to stews and soups, like other root vegetables. Its young leaves and seeds, which taste slightly peppery, are also edible.
