Radishes offer a host of health benefits, but are typically under-appreciated. Their pungent flavor and natural spice helps eliminate excess mucus in the body and can be especially helpful with fighting a cold or soothing a sore throat.
Remove the greens a 1/2-inch above the root, then refrigerate separately. Radish roots will stay fresh for a week; greens for a few days.
Rinse and scrub the skin, then chop the tops and bottoms from the root. Slice thinly or cut into quarters. Wash and dry the leaves.
Red radishes can be grilled, roasted, or pickled. Eat raw slices as snacks or add to salads, slaws, and soups. The greens can be sautéed or steamed.
Red radishes are crisp and juicy with a sharp, spicy taste. The leaves offer a pungent , peppery flavor similar to the root.
