Daikon is a long white root vegetable grown throughout East and South Asian countries. It resembles an extra large carrot and, like many radish varieties, it’s nutritious, crunchy, refreshing, and takes on different consistencies and flavors depending on how it’s cooked.  When eaten raw, it has a very light sweet and peppery flavor.  Diakon makes great sprouts for salads or juicing too!

This radish is quite often grown in the fall for deer plots.  It makes great winter forage for wildlife, in particular deer.
