Diakon Radish
Daikon radish is a large, elongated root vegetable commonly used in Asian cuisines. Unlike the small red radishes often found in salads, daikon has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with very little peppery heat. Its crisp texture and ability to absorb flavors make it incredibly versatile in both raw and cooked dishes.
In Season: May-Jun, Sep-Nov● in season now

Typically white in color, daikon can grow from 6 inches to over 18 inches long and may weigh several pounds. In the Northeastern U.S., daikon is primarily a fall crop, harvested from September through November, though storage crops can be available throughout winter. Cool temperatures help develop its sweetness and crisp texture.
