The taste of radishes
The taste of radishes grown by you yourself is just incomparable to those in the shops. Home-grown radishes have a fuller flavour, a nice, crisp, crunchy texture and spicy too. Eaten raw, freshly picked, they taste just delicious but thrown into a mixed salad they will always be popular. An open sandwich, cheese topped with home-grown radishes – mmmmm. Even new, young radish leaves are tasty – try them in a salad.
Tasty radish – good for you!
