NewRadishes are a group of root vegetables with light-colored, crunchy flesh, variable skin color, and an almost spicy, peppery taste. They vary in shape from short and round to long and narrow, and the skin can be red, black, white, yellow, pink, or purple.
Raphanus sativa is the parent domesticated species for all types of radishes. The color and shape of the radish is what separates them into different varieties. The radish is likely native to Southeast Asia or Central Asia. Ancient Greeks and Romans about 2,500 years ago also used it for food and medicinal purposes. Several thousand years ago, people began to cultivate the wild radish and encourage its spread across new lands.
For example, red radish, also called round radish or globe radish, is what most often comes to mind when people think of radishes. However, red radish is just one variety.
The daikon, or Japanese radish, is white and resembles a carrot or parsnip. The watermelon radish has a pale green skin and pink interior. The black, or Spanish radish, has a black skin.
Today, red radish remains the most common radish in supermarkets, but daikon and other varieties are gaining popularity.

Good photos, interesting and informative! To add a bit of trivia, a family I knew that came from France buttered radishes before eating them. Apparently more common these days - butter and sea salt!

Nice shots of these fresh veggies. That’s very interesting information. I didn’t realize there were so many different types.

Great composition. Do see a variety of radishes at my farmer's market. I have only had the red ones though.

That's how my German in-laws ate them too! Or rather they sliced them on a mandolin and served atop buttered bread sprinkled with coarse salt as an appetizer!

Hah! Mandolin! I always told my children who I taught basic cooking, that nicking yourself, even if you are careful, is the price of "speaking knife". I have got myself more on that deadly contraption than with all of my cooking knives combined!
