Radishes are mostly eaten raw, sliced or diced and added to salads. You can also serve them as an appetizer with dip or hummus or sliced on buttered bread.

The leaves of radish plants are edible and can be boiled to improve the texture.

When storing radishes, make sure to clip their tops so that the roots will last longer in storage.

Instructions - Sow seeds outdoors as soon as soil can be worked in spring. Plant in full sun. Successive plantings can be made every 3-4 weeks throughout summer and fall to provide a continual harvest.
