Radish
Season: Fall-Winter, Spring
Storage: Store in the crisper drawer. Greens will keep up to 1 week. Cut the greens off to store up to 1 month.
Other Names: Here at PIF, we carry a large variety of radishes. Some of these varieties include Daikon, Bravo, and Lady Fingers. Each variety has its own unique subset of names depending on variety and flavor.
Fun Facts: Did you know radishes are related to cabbage & broccoli? This zesty root veggie has been grown since before the Roman Empire and comes in a variety of exterior colors. Radishes are most common in salads where they add a crisp bite, but roasting mellows the flavor, and they can mimic potatoes in some low carb recipes. Don’t toss those radish greens! They are even more nutritious than their more commonly eaten roots, packing in healthy doses of vitamins and minerals. Try them sauteed with garlic, whirled into a pesto, or slivered on top of a soup. Don’t toss those radish greens!
