Artist's Description
Most of us are familiar with the small, round red radishes found in grocery stores here in Hawaii, and on the Mainland. There is another radish however that is a staple in Asian cuisine, the daikon radish, or white radish. The big difference between red radishes and the daikon radish is the size. The daikon radish is huge, kind of like a white carrot on steroids. It has a light crunchy texture, and sharp bite that compliments rich Asian dishes and adds flavor to relishes and salads.

About James Temple

An excellent image showing the different shapes of the radishes! So boring, if they were carbon copies of each other! I don't think that we would be able to get these in our neck of the woods, though my husband is very fond of horseradish sauce. If we ever see any, we'll give them a go.
