Radish Cake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnip_cake
And Watermelon Radishes are gorgeous and have a mild flavor 💖💚💖💚
I love radishes. One of my favorite vegetables.
Also one of the few foods that give me inexplicable instant acid foaming back up from my stomach. I’ll eat habaneros for giggles, no problem, but a single one of those little round red monsters in a salad and I’m out.
I mean they’re cool, but they’re not that cool.
They’re only rad-ish.
That was way more clever than it had any right to be… Get out!
How dare you…take my dam upvote

Don’t suppose you’re actually a beaver?
I was using swipe typing and knew it was wrong when reading it. Then I was like fuck it and hit post anyway like a fucking madman. Felt good.
When prepared well I find them radishing.
Too bad they taste bad
That’s crazy. They are delicious!
yeah im not a fan myself. I guess it is a good target for supplements.
You say they have no calories like that should make me more inclined to want to eat them. We are not all fat you know.
I do like radishes though.
As someone who tries desperately to bulk, fitness/health marketing is so frustrating.
I need calories, these small portion minimal fat and calorie bull shit foods low-key piss me off.
I like radishes, raw and pickled. And it used to be very cheap food. But in US it’s really expensive. I wish we could just grow stuffs freely. Radishes are ready in 2-3 months if grown.
That sounds like medicine to me, not food :P
They taste like it too
More for me!
And they’re by far the easiest vegetable to grow yourself, so much so that being called a ‘radish farmer’ is an insult.
I would still mess it up.
Not really it is those wascally wabbits and deer. Poor soil too.
They’re easier than zucchini? Does that make keeping radishes from taking over their entire plots actually kind of difficult or do they just grow perfectly only where you plant them?
The leaves are edible too,I use them in various recipes
The leaves are edible too,
I actually didn’t know that
Also, depending on your local climate, you might be surprised how quick and easy it is to grow your own turnips. If you’re in a temperate northern hemisphere climate, good chance you can have fresh home grown turnips for 8+ months of the year, if not the whole year. They don’t take a lot of time to reach maturity, you can basically plant a small batch of seeds every few weeks to keep things going.
Yes, they are delicious on their own, fresh cut in salads, and so on. You can roast/bake/cook them, and they take on a taste and texture similar to potatoes. You can soak them in a pickling brine (1:4 vinegar to water with a bit of salt) for a few hours minimum and that will also eliminate most of the “bite” if you don’t like that part of their flavor profile.
Thanks for reminding me to buy radish seeds. Radishes grow pretty quickly and yes, you can roast them and they are delish-- after roasting are less peppery but still good. I want to know if Daikon radishes also have these same properties.
Daikon do! Some varieties of radish go from seed to “ready to harvest” in as little as 3 weeks. They’re also great for nutrient cycling and breaking up dense soils in preparation for other plantings, Daikon does a particularly good job as they grow deeper than many varieties. Even when planted around other things they grow low to the ground so they rarely directly compete for light.
I normally plant at least 2 waves of radishes in my garden to start and end the season.
If you get really big daikons, you should try scalloped daikon radishes, it’s my new go-to during the season when I get overwhelmed with large ones.
