If you have no idea what you’re looking at, meet the watermelon radish! By far my favorite radish, for many reasons, not the least of which is the totally gorgeous fuchsia flesh and green rim!
Resembling one of America’s favorite summer fruits, the watermelon, this fun veggie is a beautiful, healthy addition to any salad.
Raw, roasted or pickled, pairing this vitamin C rich root with your favorite salads will add an appealing twist!
Watermelon radishes are more mild and slightly sweet as compared to your standard radish. In addition to being a great source of Vitamin C, radishes stimulate liver function and promote healthy digestion.
You can buy watermelon radish seeds to add to your garden or snag some at your local farmers market/grocery store.
Even if you’re not impressed by the health benefits, there is no denying how pretty these little discs will look in your next garden salad!
Enjoy!
