Takuan

Takuan is a pickled preparation of radish or daikon commonly found in East Asian cuisines (for example danmuji or takuan) and served as a crunchy, tangy side or garnish. While light in energy, it stands out for containing 101µg of vitamin K per 100g, along with modest amounts of fiber and vitamin C. Because it’s a pickled product, it contributes useful micronutrients and flavor with relatively few calories, but it can also contain added salt or sugar depending on the recipe, so choosing low-sodium or homemade versions is a simple way to keep it healthier.
