All About Radishes

What are red radishes?

The radish is an edible root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family that was domesticated in Europe in pre-Roman times.

Radishes are grown and consumed worldwide, mostly eaten raw as a crunchy salad vegetable.- Wikipedia

Red radishes are high in fiber, Vitamin C, and low in calories and carbohydrates, and in season during the spring and summer months.

If you’ve never had red radish before, they are round or oval, 1-5 inches in diameter, with a crunchy white flesh and a spicy undertone that quickly disappears.

The typical red radishes at the grocery store have long been popular sliced to go inside a garden salad, raw on a vegetable platter with dip, or cooked in various recipes.

If you’ve never tried cream of radish soup, it’s flavourful and a frugal meal that stretches your grocery budget.

Red radish benefits also contribute to weight loss since it is a vegetable low in carbs, making it ideal for those on a keto diet.

Radish leaves, also known as radish greens, are nutritious and perfect sautéed with some olive oil and garlic, tossed in salads, or used in any other way that you enjoy greens.

Like most greens, radish greens don’t last long, so it’s best to use them immediately to avoid food waste.

Wash the radish greens once harvested and store for up to 2 days max in the crisper.

Types of Radishes

How many types of radishes are there? LOTS!

I looked and found plenty of radish varieties grown worldwide, many of which you can find at your local supermarket.

If you’re looking to store radishes of the red variety, look no further than the crisper drawer in your refrigerator.

A small bag of red radishes lasts us about a week, and we take them as needed, clean them, and use them.

How to make Keto Radish Potato Salad

If you’ve made classic potato salad before, you do the same thing, except you substitute boiled and chilled red radishes for your potatoes.

It’s that easy. I’ve added all the delicious flavours of a traditional potato salad, plus a bit of red cabbage for crunch.

Wash and clean your radishes by chopping off the end bits, which can get gritty, boil them until tender, then run them under cold water.

You may wonder what they will look and taste like once you’ve boiled them, and the answer is slightly different.

The red colour is hardly noticed, and the peppery taste is slight with no crunch, making radishes the perfect alternative for potatoes for a low-carb diet.

If you don’t want to boil the radishes, you can poach them instead to eliminate excess water getting into the radish, but we found them to be perfect this way, too.

Get Creative With Your Potato Radish Salad

Once the radishes are chilled in the refrigerator, you can start to add all of your radish potato salad ingredients, and you’re done.

Some people like a warm radish potato salad, and you can do that as well by not refrigerating the radishes and adding the ingredients while they are warm.

We like refrigerating our radish potato salad for an additional hour to chill and let the ingredients come together.

You don’t have to do this, but it’s our preference.

That’s it…how easy is that?

Let’s get cooking!
