Radish, Red

Red radishes have a semi-sweet, peppery, and sharp flavor when raw. The intensity of the root will vary with variety and growing conditions, but Red radishes are generally sharp without an overly powerful spicy taste. Once cooked, the radish’s flesh will soften and develop a mellow, peppery flavor. In addition to the roots, Red radish leaves are also edible and have a pungent, green, and grassy taste.
