 Daikon Radishes

As for buying normal radishes, select firm ones, with no bruises.
Cooking Tips
You can eat them raw, or use in stir fries. There is no need to peel, but as much of the zing is in the skin, you can peel with a vegetable peeler or paring knife if you wish (though if you didn't want the zing, why would you be using a radish?) Daikon Radish pickled in brine is often served with Japanese meals and sushi.
Nutrition
Per 3 oz: 19 calories. Good source of vitamin C. No other real nutritional value.
Equivalents
1 Daikon Radish, peeled and grated = approx. 1 1/2 cups = 9 oz / 225g
1/2 cup grated Daikon Radish = 3 oz / 75g
Storage
If you have bought them with the tops on, take off and discard the tops, and store in a plastic bag in the fridge for up to two weeks. If any seem to be flagging by going a bit soft before you use them, you can crisp them up again by soaking them in ice water for an hour or two.
