When we talk about radish the white root we usually just think about the part that grows underground – the radish itself. But radishes have more to offer than just their roots.
We often forget about their leafy greens, which are the leafy tops of the radish plant.
These greens can be included when you buy radishes, or you might find them removed.
The radish leaves are pretty unique. They’re long, green, and come with stems. They’re not just edible, but they also bring a fun crunchiness and a hint of peppery heat. The hotness can range from
mild to pretty strong, depending on the type and age of the leaves.
You’ll often spot them in salads, soups, and as a fancy garnish on many dishes.
The flavour of radish leaves might seem a bit tough and hairy. But don’t let that fool you. These leaves are packed with nutrients, and they’re a culinary delight in places like China and Korea, where they’re used in various dishes to add color and flavor.
You can fry them as a curry and also use them for chutney with mirchi together. Not only radish many other vegetables leaves are thrown out as a waste. But they can be used in dals.
Like any other green leaf vegetables, these leaves can also be used as party of any other curry.
