Native
to Asia, these are very large carrot-shaped radishes (up to 18" long
and weighing one to two pounds). Also called Japanese or oriental radishes,
domestic daikons have a white flesh that is juicy and a bit hotter than
that of red radishes but milder than that of black ones. Daikon may be
used cooked (added to soups or stir-frys) or uncooked (as an addition
to salads or relishes).
