Daikon

Daikon is a crisp, mild-flavored root vegetable widely used in East Asian cuisines (Japan, Korea, China) as pickles, grated garnishes, soups and stews. It is prized for its clean texture and ability to take on bold flavors in broths, salads and fermented preparations. Nutritionally, Daikon is very low in calories and carbohydrates while providing a notable amount of vitamin C: 22mg per 100g, along with modest fiber and plenty of water. As a member of the cruciferous family, it contributes hydrating bulk and mild phytonutrients that support digestion and offer modest antioxidant benefits typical of radish-type vegetables.
