Radishes: Bacchus Purple

Theses radishes have a tendency to be spicy but we love them for the added flavor to salads, stir-fries and roasted roots.   We mostly eat these on salads, but they are also fabulous roasted with other roots, roasted with their tops,or you might be interested in trying them in a slaw . The Splended Table suggests radish butter as a spread. These radishes and bread hors d’oeuvres are easy, healthy and tasty.  Another favorite of ours is Spring Rolls where most any vegetable can go into these delicious wraps.  They can be mashed with potatoes for a gratin which can be made vegan in substituting new balance or oil for butter and nutritional yeast for the cheese.   If you haven’t yet pickled radishes, be sure to give it a try because it is great as a topping on tacos! Occasionally these radishes are sold without the tops.

Sold by the bunch. Approximately 5 to 8 radishes per bunch. Bunches typically weigh around 3/4 of a pound.
