Daikon


The daikon is a large, white radish. It smells like a typical little red radish you'd find in the grocery store - and it tastes almost the same - a bit milder.

I sliced up the daikon and served it raw...the girl thought it tasted like a "radish or a turnip...it tastes OK." She did have seconds.

The boy did not like it at all.

I'm not a big fan of radish at all...whether its little red and cute - or large and white and carrot like. I think red radishes are cute as a garnish - but other than that - I don't like adding them to my menu.

We like daikon in stir fries and in sushi rolls (vegetarian--which we all love though we don't do the meat/fish ones) as well as in spring rolls. It never occurred to me to try it raw with nothing else.:)

If it tastes like radishes it has to be good!
