YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They improve heart health and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. They contain almost no calories

    Also one of the few foods that give me inexplicable instant acid foaming back up from my stomach. I’ll eat habaneros for giggles, no problem, but a single one of those little round red monsters in a salad and I’m out.

    You say they have no calories like that should make me more inclined to want to eat them. We are not all fat you know.

    I do like radishes though.

    And they’re by far the easiest vegetable to grow yourself, so much so that being called a ‘radish farmer’ is an insult.

    • idiomaddict@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They’re easier than zucchini? Does that make keeping radishes from taking over their entire plots actually kind of difficult or do they just grow perfectly only where you plant them?

      source
  • Firebirdie713@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    If anyone here dislikes the peppery taste of raw radishes, I recommend cutting them into chunks, tossing with some olive oil, salt, and other seasoning and roast them until they are tender. This gets rid of the peppery taste and makes them taste more like potatoes or turnips.

    source
    • Limonene@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The peppery taste is what I like most about radishes.

    • new_world_odor@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Huh, I might try that. While I like the taste of radishes, I never know what to do with them other than toss in a salad. My kids don’t like the taste so another option is bonus

        You know, I love radishes in salad or stir fry or whatever, and I just never thought of them as a standalone snack….

        And thats on me. I’m gonna get some radishes today while I’m briefly out in the arctic temperatures.

      also it’s not like other vegetables have the energy density of plutonium, aside from the starchy stuff most vegetables have precisely the amount of calories that’s good for you.

        Learn to fill up on veggies and you cannot overeat. No one got overweight gorging on non staple starch veggies or fruit.

        If they do not taste good, do not eat for a day or two, and cut any salt or sugar, your palette will learn to appreciate real food.

    • fishos@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I always hate seeing this. I get a lot of people struggle with being overweight, but there are those of us that struggle maintaining a healthy weight. But all health stuff seems to be focused on low calories and losing weight. I can’t even program fitness/eating apps to help me gain weight - best I can do is “maintain current weight”.

      source
      • raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Well that’s an easy fix: use maintain weight, and then eat a little more ;)

    I like radishes, raw and pickled. And it used to be very cheap food. But in US it’s really expensive. I wish we could just grow stuffs freely. Radishes are ready in 2-3 months if grown.

    Thanks for reminding me to buy radish seeds. I want to know if Daikon radishes also have these same properties.

    source
    • divineburke@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Daikon do! Some varieties of radish go from seed to “ready to harvest” in as little as 3 weeks. They’re also great for nutrient cycling and breaking up dense soils in preparation for other plantings, Daikon does a particularly good job as they grow deeper than many varieties. Even when planted around other things they grow low to the ground so they rarely directly compete for light.

      I normally plant at least 2 waves of radishes in my garden to start and end the season.

      source
    • aramis87@fedia.io ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If you get really big daikons, you should try scalloped daikon radishes, it's my new go-to during the season when I get overwhelmed with large ones.

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen those in the shops. Do you pickle your own?

      source
      • hector@lemmy.today ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I do, brew wine out of maple syrup I make and apple cider I press, buckets get infected and become vinegar, mother of vinegar eats alcohol below 5 pc concentration.

        I throw cut up veggies in there, peppercorns and spices, lots of spicy peppers as I am a fiend. Radishes take longer to soak through than zuchinis and cabbages and the like but go great with them.

    Radish, horseradish, garlic and onions are probably my favourite veggies

    source
    • metallic_substance@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If you’ve never tried this with a sandwich, give it a shot. Toast the bread well, then take a peeled clove of garlic and rub it on the inside facing side of each slice. Basically, you’re using the rough surface of the bread to grate the garlic down to nothing until the clove is gone and transferred to the surface if the bread. Then add a light bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. This works especially well with with salami or prosciutto and basil sandwich.

      If you like garlic, it imparts a powerful flavor, even moreso than chopped. It’s basically like micro planed, but quicker

      source
      • GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Here we fry sliced rye bread, rub it with salt and garlic and top it with melted cheese.

        I’ll try your suggestion.

      Big radish is behind this for sure.

      • BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Big Radish had my cousin murdered. He was a small town Radish peddler. Made an honest living. They sent in their enforcers. They burned down his radish…

        …sorry I needed a minute. This is hard for me. They burned down his farm. They dug a hole in the ground and buried him with his head sticking our of the ground and taunted him. They called him “radish boy” and chanted ,“TAPROOT TAPROOT TAPROOT!!” Until eventually they pulled him out by his head, snapping his neck. Once said, “This one is rotten,” and left him in the ground.

        The farm was well-equipped with cameras. Also, I was there. Also, I was paid by big Radish to do it.

        Radishes are amazing.

    Also, depending on your local climate, you might be surprised how quick and easy it is to grow your own turnips. If you’re in a temperate northern hemisphere climate, good chance you can have fresh home grown turnips for 8+ months of the year, if not the whole year. They don’t take a lot of time to reach maturity, you can basically plant a small batch of seeds every few weeks to keep things going.

    Yes, they are delicious on their own, fresh cut in salads, and so on. You can roast/bake/cook them, and they take on a taste and texture similar to potatoes. You can soak them in a pickling brine (1:4 vinegar to water with a bit of salt) for a few hours minimum and that will also eliminate most of the “bite” if you don’t like that part of their flavor profile.

    I love fresh radishes. I’ve often been called a weirdo for that. But they’re so… edible. Colorful, crunchy, flavorful. Even the spicy ones are good in a wasabi-spicy kind of way, excellent for clearing your nose!

    You can eat the greens, too. Chop them up and saute. I don’t like radishes though. I wish I did. I worked a few summers on an Amish farm and radishes are fun to harvest.
