And they are also pretty to look at! Radishes have been part of the Asian culinary history since pre-historic times and their status as health foods has only increased and become better. Radishes are an essential ingredient of Japanese, Chinese, and even Indian food culture. Daikon is the popular white radish which has many varieties such as the red radish, the half-red radish and others. The half-red radish is not as pungent and sour as the red radish. Out of the three and different varieties of radishes, the most mild in flavor is the white radish. Nonetheless, their nutritional content and density is the same across the spectrum.
