Green Luobo Radish
Green Luobo Radish
Per 8oz - this year we are trying out many different coloured specialty or also know as winter radishes. They are wonderful for storing and all belong to the daikon family with leaves that are edible, very similar to mustard greens. The radishes can be eaten with or without the skin.
Whole winter radishes will keep two - three weeks stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Also known as Green Meat or Green Flesh.
This variety has a crunchy consistency and pungent spicy flavour. As the roots mature, their spicy flavour becomes milder, allowing the sweeter notes of the vegetable to shine. When raw, the flesh can be thinly sliced and incorporated into salads, used as a raw vessel for dips, or chopped, mixed into slaws, topped on tacos. The brilliant, bi-coloured flesh adds visual appeal to sandwiches, appetizer plates, sushi, pickled and fermented preparations. Try them sliced into chips and fried or cube them with your other favourite veggies and roast for a caramelized flavour or try them chopped and tossed into curries and stews. Once cooked, the flesh softens to a creamier consistency, and the radishes develop a more neutral flavour with sweet, nutty, and earthy notes.
