Daikon

Daikon is very low in calories. A one half cup serving has about 10 calories and is a fair source of vitamin C.

Daikon is a variety of radish also known as Japanese radish, Chinese radish and Satsuma radish. They are white with a milder flavor than the small red radish, and can grow up to 3 feet long and weigh up to 100 pounds, although they are usually harvested at 1 to 5 pounds.

Daikon can be eaten raw in salad, pickled, or in stir fries, soups and stews. They have a pleasant, sweet and zesty flavor with a mild bite.

Daikon radish sprouts, also called 'kaiware' have a pleasant peppery-hot flavor that is a nice addition to sandwiches, salads and stir-fries.
