Black Radish

The taste and texture of the black radish are very similar to that of horseradish. It is not really a radish for eating like the red ones, but it is great for use in making salad dressings, dips, and condiments. The black radish promotes a healthy respiratory system; activates the liver cells; maintains a healthy gallbladder; stimulates bile flow; helps clear up acne and eczema; suppresses coughing .
Storing:
Refrigerate whole in a plastic bag for up to one month. Freezing is not recommended.
Quick dish: For a great side dish chop up black radish and mix with other vegetables to grill or sauté. Or mash with turnips.
