Watermelon Radish
Watermelon radishes are a specialty variety of radish known for their pale green or white exterior and vivid pink, red, or magenta center. Their appearance resembles the colors of a watermelon, giving them their name.
They have a crisp, juicy texture and a mild peppery flavor that can become sweeter and more pronounced as the growing conditions change. Watermelon radishes are especially popular for their striking appearance and are often served raw to showcase their colorful interior.
