The radish is a root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family. The most popular part for eating is the napiform taproot, although the entire plant is edible and the tops can be used as a leaf vegetable. The skin comes in a variety of colours. Most commonly known is the round, red-skinned variety. The bulb of the radish is usually eaten raw. The raw flesh has a crisp texture and a pungent, peppery flavour. Radishes are a great source of vitamin C and are rich in minerals like sulphur, iron, and iodine.
