The Black Radish is a striking root vegetable known for its dull, black, coarse skin and a crisp, pure-white flesh. It possesses a much more pungent and assertive peppery flavor than common radishes, with a heat that can be quite intense. In European folk medicine, it is often juiced as a tonic. Culinarily, it is excellent when grated into salads for a sharp bite, or roasted, which mellows its spiciness into a complex, earthy sweetness. A bold and robust vegetable.
