EASTER EGG RADISHES
Easter Egg Radishes (Raphanus sativus), also called Spring or Globe radishes, are known for their crisp, snap-like consistency. They provide a zesty crunch without becoming woody, hollow, or overly spicy. They offer earthy and sweet undertones with a bright white interior that is dense, firm, and succulent. Easter Egg Radishes are slightly spicier than their French counterpart!

Storage tips: Easter Egg Radishes store well in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Keeping the tops on is ideal, as this helps them last longer. If you opt to de-top them (don’t toss those greens, sauté them!), store them submerged in water or in a container for over a week.
Culinary uses: Easter Egg Radishes have near limitless culinary potential — eat raw, sauté, braise, grill, roast, stir-fry, steam, fry, pickle, ferment! Cooking Easter Egg Radishes will help cut back on their peppery bite!
