A Word About

Radish comes from the Latin radix, meaning “root.” The radish is in fact the root of a plant in the mustard family. The flavor can be mild to peppery, depending on variety and age. Its skin can vary in color from white to red to purple to black. The shape of radishes can be round, oval or elongated. To add crispness soak in ice water for a few hours before serving. Though radishes are most often served raw in salads, as garnishes and for crudités, they can also be cooked.
