Radish, Daikon (2oz)
History:
Daikon radish (Raphanus sativus), originating in the Mediterranean/Black Sea region and domesticated in ancient China over 1,000 years ago, is a long white root vegetable central to Asian cuisine. Introduced to Japan around 3 A.D., it became a staple crop, known as "big root". It is now globally popular for its mild flavor and crisp texture.
Flavor Profile:
Daikon radish microgreens have a bold, spicy, and notably peppery flavor that closely mimics the mature vegetable but with a crisper, more tender texture. They offer a clean, refreshing, and zesty, slightly sweet taste that adds a sharp, pungent kick to salads, sandwiches, and Asian-inspired dishes.
