Radish
Radish is a crisp root vegetable eaten raw, pickled, or cooked in soups and side dishes.
About Radish
Radish is the swollen edible root of plants in the mustard family, with varieties ranging from small round red radishes to elongated white, pink, purple, or black forms. The raw root is crisp and juicy, with a peppery, mustard-like flavor that varies from mild to pungent; its interior may be white or colored.
It is commonly eaten raw in salads, sliced as a garnish, salted, fermented, or pickled. Radish can also be roasted, braised, sautéed, or added to soups and stews, where heat softens its texture and reduces its sharpness.
Fresh roots may be sold with or without leaves. Preparation changes the root from crisp and juicy to softer and less sharp when heated, while salting, fermenting, or pickling alters its texture and flavour. No particular cultivar is specified.

Per 100 g of the named reference food. Preparation, cultivar and product formulation can change these values; use the stated form when comparing.
Portions & preparation
Match the reference to whole raw radish or the cooked, pickled, or preserved form being served. Edible root portions may be sliced, grated, or left whole; preparation liquids, added salt, sugar, oil, and discarded trimming can materially change the catalogue entry.
Compare the right form: Reference should match fresh edible radish root, with preparation specified as raw, cooked, pickled, or preserved and drained.
Diet considerations
Radish is a plant-derived root vegetable and is generally catalogued separately from animal foods. Compatibility changes when it is pickled with non-plant additives, coated, cooked with meat or dairy, or served in a sauce. Preparation and serving context determine whether added sugars, fats, or cereal ingredients are present.
