Radishes: To Know Them is to Relish Them
A member of the same plant family as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale and collards, this root vegetable is easy to grow in a home garden.
Radishes are often an underestimated vegetable. Famous for their hotness, radishes contain as much potassium as bananas, they are a good source of vitamin C and are loaded with phytonutrients. Radishes come in a broad and fun variety of colors — red, pink, white, grey, black, yellow — and shapes — globelike and oblong. Interestingly, radish leaves are edible too. They are a good source of vitamins A and C and calcium, and they are especially tasty steamed or stir-fried. Although radishes can be eaten cooked, they keep their distinctive color, flavor and crispy texture when eaten raw. Try these recipes to learn new ways to include radishes in your diet.
