What is daikon radish?
Daikon radish is a root vegetable that is long and tubular. Daikons are most commonly found in the white variety, that almost looks like a white carrot. But they come in other colors as well.
Daikons are often used in Asian cuisines. They are crunchy, with a sweet flavor, and a mild, peppery bite. Compared to red radishes, they are much larger and milder in flavor with a less spicy taste.
Where do you buy daikon radishes?
Daikons are widely available and can be found in most major grocery stores. They are also commonly sold at Asian grocery stores and markets.
