Seasons/Availability
Red radishes are available year-round.

Some of the most popular varieties include cherry belle, crimson giant, and scarlet globe.
Nutritional Value

Applications
Red radishes are one of the most commonly used radishes in culinary preparations and can be utilized in both cooked and raw preparations, making them a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. Sliced thin they can be used to add spice and a refreshing crispness to tacos, sandwiches, pasta and pizza. They can be roasted, braised, grilled or pickled. Their flavor pairs well with butter, cream based sauces, fresh herbs, lemon, onion and shellfish. To store keep Red radishes dry and refrigerated. For best texture and flavor use within one to two weeks.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
Radishes place in the culinary world may vary from region to region but they are an essential accoutrement to many traditional cuisines from Mexico to America, Asia to France. In Mexico you can find Red radishes garnishing a plate of barbacoa or amid other garnishes on a taco. In France, the simple preparation of butter and course sea salt with radishes is a quintessential crudité. A quite unique use is in India, where grated radish is mixed with cornmeal to make a Punjabi corn cake called makkai ki roti.
Geography/History
Radishes count as one of the earliest garden vegetables, and are among the easiest to grow. The “hotness” of radishes results from the length of time they have grown. Radishes that grow too slowly, are heat and moisture stressed, or are very old are often “hot.” Old radishes will also generally split, so it is best to harvest them when they are younger.
