How dare you…take my dam upvote

That was way more clever than it had any right to be... Get out!

When prepared well I find them radishing.

The leaves are edible too,

I actually didn't know that

Although sulforaphane research on cancer has been ongoing for many years, there is no good clinical evidence to indicate consuming sulforaphane-rich vegetables or dietary supplements provides any effect. Wikipedia

Hmm

Yeah, this is the second post I've seen today regarding radishes.

Big Radish is on the move.

big radish

They're called daikon.

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?

I would still mess it up.

Not really it is those wascally wabbits and deer. Poor soil too.

The peppery taste is what I like most about radishes.

That's always been my issue with them. I've been trying to expand my palate continuously, and this sounds wonderful. Definitely giving it a try.

Huh, I might try that. While I like the taste of radishes, I never know what to do with them other than toss in a salad. My kids don’t like the taste so another option is bonus

Or in soup.

Sounds like that could get rid of the benefits like vit C as well.

This is what I was looking for. How I make them taste better.

Put a lil salt on em and its a genuinely great snack.

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.

Improve

Higher or lower?

Sideways

daikon't see a problem with it.

Since you’re practiced, I’ll settle for one.

It's likely the sulforaphane, the compound that doesn't actually fight cancer at all. Similar to the sulfur containing compounds in onions, it's an irritant created when radish tissue is damaged to repel pests. In mammals, it irritates the lining of the digestive tract and causes the lower esophageal sphincter, which normally keeps stomach acid from refluxing, to relax.

I like radishes raw but pickled sounds really good. I'll have to try making some.

I don't think I've ever seen those in the shops. Do you pickle your own?

I don't like raw radishes, but I will devour pickled ones.

I love freshly made, quick pickled radishes, but I feel like they get a weird odor if kept. Am I doing something wrong? Making them using hot vinegar & salt mixture, let sit for 10min or so, then eat.

Yeah, dogs have so sensitive noses, i think they sting them.

Sold

really?

raw? I've been eating radishes for years - the red ones mostly - and haven't had this.

I certainly have broccoli farts tho, and asparagus pee.

pickled - kimchi for example - oh heck yeah but that's a lot of fermenting

They taste like it too

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.
