Huntington CSA **2026 Season** Daikon ideas and recipes

 Why eating Radishes of ANY kind is so good for you, and contraindications (and why it’s not good to eat a LOT of them at once…but it’s pretty much a rule of thumb that it’s never a good idea to eat a LOT of any one particular food at one meal 😊…

We didn’t get the Daikon tops/leaves this week but if we did, any Radish leaves have just as may if not more nutrients than the roots do so, they’re good to eat too (we have gotten Daikon tops over the years 😊).

 

Think you got “stuck” if you got a large Daikon? Nuh-uh 😊!

Daikon Steak recipes (and you can do this with thinner Daikon too but I imagine you might have to play with the cooking time)…

Own a spiralizer and a food processor? This looks pretty good (and easy if you have these two kitchen devices)…
