I think if you cook them it diminishes the heat, but then I don't have any recipes to recommend. And just in case you think I am immune I seem to have accumulated at least four ackets of different radish seed. The one I am hopeful of finding recipes for is Mooli (Daikon radish) As I haven't even sown them yet, don't hold your breath!Mal's Allotmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349857165496487250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-51744321880121142652011-04-30T09:11:16.626-07:002011-04-30T09:11:16.626-07:00Hi Kelli, I am trying radishes for the first time ...Hi Kelli, I am trying radishes for the first time this year. I sowed them last weekend, so hoping for a late spring/early summer harvest. Good grief I hope the last of our frosts are done! Good for you for trying a bite of your winter sown radish..I mean, if you don't try you don't know..right? :)Rainy Day Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139202327960366363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-80523369759437717832011-04-30T06:30:02.285-07:002011-04-30T06:30:02.285-07:00Radish if grown too long will be very hot.

The look like jewels, all white and crispy with a red margin.

This year I planted a few different heirlooms, and I could really tell a difference in their tastes. It's hot now, so they've gone to seed. But they were good while they lasted - not hot, just juicy and sweet. Better luck next year!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-45302717930103420112011-04-29T10:27:42.534-07:002011-04-29T10:27:42.534-07:00Kelli, I'm going to be posting about Radishes ...Kelli, I'm going to be posting about Radishes tomorrow... Your over-wintered ones have bolted I think. When they do this they become tough and bitter. In fact there normally will be no real "bulb" at all, just a woody stem. In my humble opinion, radishes that have taken months to grow are probably fated to be under-par. I think they need to be grown quickly. This way they will be juicy and tangy, a little peppery but almost sweet too. Don't give up; have another go. Now is an ideal time for sowing them.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
