Radishes
Radishes are red to reddish-purple root vegetables that have been cultivated
for thousands of years. They are part of the mustard family and have a very
peppery white flesh, giving them a deliciously distinct flavour. They have a
similar texture and appearance to beet and turnips and popular types are the
red globe radish (round or oval shape) and the turnip shaped radish.
Interestingly, the radish was held in such high esteem that they were used
by the Greeks for sacrifices to Apollo and gold replicas were also made!
