Watermelon Radishes

The holidays are here and thoughts turn to food, presents and decorations. One of my favorite things about working at the warehouse is learning about all of the specialty produce that is out there.

So, let me introduce you to watermelon radishes. They're an heirloom variety of the Chinese daikon. Their crunchy, sweet taste is milder than a normal radish and even a little sweet. The fun part? The color of the inner flesh is red making it an attractive part of any appetizer tray and sandwiches.

Watermelon radishes are great sliced thinly on top of salads, and some like them pickled. I found this recipe that looks easy to make and yummy. Do you have a favorite watermelon radish recipe to share?
