Radish: Chinese Red Meat

Image from Baker Creek

From Baker Creek:

“This colorful “Beauty Heart” radish of historic China has 4-inch round roots with white-and-green skin, but the magic is in its rose-red center, which is sweet, crisp, and delicious. A good radish to add color to salads and stir-fries. These taste incredible when harvested in the late fall or early winter, sweet and flavorful, almost like a crisp fruit. Sometimes called “Watermelon Radish” as well. Among the most important vegetables in our kitchens each winter. It is a root that most kids love and packs an extra load of antioxidants in its sweet, red flesh.”
