The colourful Radish Watermelon is related to the Daikon and has to be one of the prettiest varieties available. The pale skins look rather ordinary, but when you slice them, a wonderful starburst of pink hued flesh is exposed.
Sweeter than most radish varieties, they have a mild sweet taste and crisp texture and are great for eating fresh, salads, pickling, or as a beautiful garnish.
A member of the mustard family, the Watermelon radish produces 10cm round roots with white and green skin.
Radish Watermelon are not available on supermarket shelves, and are incredibly popular with chefs because of its gentle flavour and vibrant colour.
