Daikon is a large white radish known for its crisp, tender texture and mild, delicate flavour. It can be enjoyed grated fresh, pickled, or cooked, which brings out a gentle natural sweetness.

It also offers a range of nutritional benefits, including anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, helping the body break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Even its leaves are packed with vitamin C.

Also known as “Mooli,” daikon literally means “big root” — a simple vegetable with plenty to offer.
