Daikon is a variety of white radish native to Asia. Versatile in the kitchen, it is distinguished by its white and juicy flesh, its crunchy texture and its sweet radish taste.
Choose a daikon with a smooth, firm skin. Since it sometimes grows to large proportions, it can be found cut into pieces in supermarkets.
Daikon is very versatile. It can be eaten raw or cooked, grilled or marinated. It is also delicious in soup and goes well with carrots and pineapple.
Daikon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It is recommended to place it in a perforated plastic bag to keep it fresh.
