Ah, Radish, another of my favorites! In fact, there is almost nothing that beats the Radish for quick-snacking! Usually at their best (in my phytonutrient garden) in November, radishes are easy and quick to grow. The cooler the weather the less harsh or sharp the bite of the radish. In many areas they are a spring time favorite, but whether you grow them in Spring or Fall they are wonderful, and are available in the grocery store year round.
No matter if you choose red, yellow, green, diakon, black… Oh my, what wonderful choices the radish offers – super delicious, colorful and incredibly healthy too!
