Radish, Easter Egg (Bagged)
Bunch is 6-8 medium size Radishes. Bagged without their greens
Easter Egg radishes generally have a mild, peppery flavor suited for fresh and cooked preparations. The roots should be washed and can be consumed straight out of hand, or they can be sliced and layered on salted butter bread. Easter Egg radishes can also be used as colorful, edible garnish, displayed on crudité platters, tossed into salads or shredded into slaws. Try chopping the radishes as a topping for tacos, layering them into sandwiches, or eating them as a healthy snack with dips and spreads. In addition to raw preparations, Easter Egg radishes can be roasted to bring out their natural sweetness, braised or stewed as a side dish, or sauteed with fresh herbs. The radishes can be used in any recipe calling for globe radishes and are also pickled for extended use. Beyond the roots, radish leaves are edible and can be sauteed, steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or sauteed. Easter Egg radishes pair well with aromatics such as chives, garlic, shallots, and onions, cheeses including goat, parmesan, and cheddar, and spring ingredients such as snow peas, corn, asparagus, and pea tendrils. Whole, unwashed Easter Egg radishes will keep up to one week when separated from the greens and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
