Red radishes are a root vegetable with a crunchy texture, white flesh, and a sweet and peppery flavor:
- Appearance: Red radishes are round or cylindrical in shape, with a smooth, thin skin that ranges in color from bright red to red-pink to crimson. They are usually about 1–3 inches in diameter.
- Taste: Red radishes have a semi-sweet, peppery, and sharp flavor when raw. The heat of a radish can vary depending on how long it has been growing. When cooked, the radish’s flesh will soften and develop a mellow, peppery flavor.
- Edible parts: In addition to the roots, red radish leaves are also edible and have a pungent, green, and grassy taste.
- Health benefits: Red radishes are a good source of vitamin C and fiber.
- Availability: Red radishes are available year-round.
Red radishes are one of the most common types of radishes you see in stores. Other types of radishes include daikon, watermelon, and black radish.
