Radish White x12

Radish white vegetable resembles a large white plump carrot and is commonly eaten raw, cooked, or pickled. It is often peeled before use, but the skin is edible and peeling is optional. It can be thinly sliced for a garnish or pickling, diced for cooking, or grated for pickling or used in baked goods and savory dishes. The greens on the Radish white can also be eaten raw in salads or added to soups and other hot dishes, and the sprouts are used raw in dishes like Japanese green salads and vegetable sushi. Raw white radish has a sweet and lightly spicy flavor, and it tends to be milder than a peppery red radish. The level of spice can depend on the variety of white radish, with some having a stronger flavor. The flesh is very crunchy and juicy. Cooked, white radish tastes mellow and sweet and becomes tender, similar to a cooked turnip. The greens are very peppery with a pungent flavor that mellows slightly when cooked.
