The textured dark green leaves are crisp, with a grassy, vegetal and pungent flavour.

For a mild flavour and to avoid pungency in the radish, eat them before they reach 5 cm.

Although large radish types can be eaten at any size.

Radishes are rich in ascorbic acid, folic acid and potassium.

They are a good source of vitamin B6, riboflavin, magnesium, copper and calcium.

Radishes are the fastest vegetable in the garden — only 25–35 days pass from sowing to harvest. They are ideal for the first spring salads and for children who are just learning to garden.
