I feel the same way. Ive never thought about making humus before because tahini is kinda hard to come by since I live out in the boonies. I either have to order it and have it shipped, or drive 1.5 hours to the nearest gourmet seller or ethnic market. I can get sesame seeds just about anywhere. I'll have to give it a try in the next week or so.
@@melissa7233 Some recipes online say that if you can't get tahini that you can use peanut butter. They are wrong. Its easy to do with sesame, just go slow with the olive oil so it doesn't get too wet.
Just a quick note: you might want to use a more neutral oil when you're blitzing your sesame seeds in the beginning, the friction created by blitzing olive oil for too long can impart a slight bitterness that many people would want to avoid. When we make big batches of tahini at my restaurant we get all of the other ingredients in the hummus combined first and then we whisk in the olive oil at the end (we also use 50% of the bean water from boiling the chickpeas as it has eggwhite-like properties that allow your hummus to become light and whipped)
I have heard that. Long story short each time I make tahini it's awfully bitter and I can't figure it out, and I am good cook. I stopped using olive oil and it's still bitter so I am leaving it to the experts for now.
@@let_uslunch8884 other than burning the seeds or starting with rancid seeds, the only other thing I can think of is not adding enough salt, salt offsets bitterness.
@@zongzoogly4549 I bought new sesame seeds to make it and the oils didn't smell off. I used the rest of the seeds in other things...so maybe it was salt???

@@let_uslunch8884 I would also air on the side of undertoasting your sesame seeds, because the residual heat will continue to toast them after you remove them from the pan.
Seriously this is how I ate most of mine this year. Really nice knowing that if you don't get to your radishes early enough you can still get something out of it. Pretty decent yield too.
My radishes that didn't produce a bulb produced pods so I looked up if they were edible and I put the fresh ones in my salad. I thought they looked like green beans.
I love your shows, I love the fact that you go out and hunt this stuff down, eat it, and present the other versions etc. And your kitchen convey the whole explorer, and how do I put this, let's call it pioneering spirit. Love the show
Im surprised I never heard about this before from some kind of michelin star dinner video. This seems like something that would be upsold to rich people despite it being fairly mundane
Sounds about right. I wouldn't buy them because you can grow them yourself and you could probably do it for pennies, just like radishes. A little over $2.50 for a packet of seeds.
As an interesting aside: I learned recently that radishes themselves can be roasted. It takes away the piquantness and they are delicious. They are like a fancy potato. And the reason, in case you're wondering, to grow radishes for roasting, is that radishes are one of the fastest growing veggies -- usually ready to harvest in 25 days.
I've just recently found out about your channel through the comment section of Smarter Every Day. Glad to be a new member of your channel, I've been missing out!
Radish pods are fantastic! They're like a green bean with that distinct radishey bite. When pickled, they're like capers. I highly recommend growing some. If you just want the pods and don't care about the roots, plant specifically the "Rat's Tail Radish" variety. Pick them very young. Stake them, because they grow tall and narrow. If they turn brown, it's extremely easy to harvest seeds to plant next year.
It amazes me how many things I see on this channel that wish my local supermarket sold. there is so much out there we would never know about if it wasn't for this channel.
I discovered radish pods this past Summer when my Daikon radishes bolted. I loved them so much I plan to grow an early crop for the pods and then plant more for a later crop of Daikon radishes. I love them in salads and fresh from the garden. Thank you for spreading the word!
The nice thing about radishes, is when you grow them and fail to collect the bulb, these tasty treats are a great second choice! I love growing these. I've never seen any info on them. Thank you!
I wish my dad was still alive, he would have simply loved your channel. He was a very keen foody, and loved people who are genuine and not given to being dramatic. He would have absolutely done this pickle. I made him a jar of pickled onions, garlic, caper and pimento. I pickled it in half pickling vinegar and half cheap whisky. I left them pickling for a year. It was a huge jar (about 1½ pints). They lasted him the days. Whisky really goes well with pickling vinegar and chilli for pickles.
I am glad I learnt that the radish pods could be eaten. I saw Ms. Homestead Heart eating it and I tried it. Then i fermented some delicious. Now i grow it for the pods mostly.
I grew a 1/4 acre garden one year and let many radishes grow to this point where they produced these pods. Each radish plant developed hundreds of pods, it was amazing! I thought these pods were very good and would love to grow them again as soon as I move to a house with a yard!
I have seen this as I let radishes go to seed... but... what? They can be eaten!? Okay. I am going to have to do this. We already learned that radish and turnip greens are a better use of the space than a single radish or turnip. This just means I can let a few radishes go to this point and get a different crop from the same plant. ;) ALSO! I think you live in a city, BUT radishes are apparently very container friendly so if you have a balcony and are allowed plants on it... ;)
I always let the radishes in my garden go to seed because I prefer the seed pods over the actual root because of just how strong the flavor is on the root. the pods just have a much better and milder flavor which is nice. I have been looking to get rat tail radish for a while but all I could find this year was one called dragon tail radish which is similar to rat tail in size but purple. I found it to be fairly woody tasting so I am going to keep searching for rat tail ones, maybe those are better
Radish pods are wonderful on the veggie dip tray. Perfect dip and bite food. I never tried regular radish pods and have always bought the rattail radish.
I grew up eating these in UK! My mum grew radishes and all kinds of veg. In Gujarati they are called Mogri. They are delicious and refreshing. Oh, your thumbnail was so nostalgic for me. When we were young, my mum used to pick these fresh off the plants at lunch time. We also had pods from fenugreek plants ...also called Mogri 😊
Growing the pods, I personally have found that spice levels can greatly vary between plants of even the same species. Some are sweeter, some have no spice at all. All are delicious when fresh
Radish pods are one of my favorite fresh fruits. But, did not ever think to pickle them or use them as dippers. Thanks again for your informative and fun content. 👍🏼
When you made that face after eating the hot radish pepper, it reminded me of a batch of pickles my mother made years ago where she got carried away with the hot peppers she used. They were VERY hot. My reaction to them was the same as yours to the radish pickle.
Hi there . Awesome video yet again. I've been growing radishes for years and didn't know this. Will definitely have to grow some and allow them to mature to this stage for sure!
Finally something I tasted. I grew this for the only reason that I didn't realize they were radishes untill the root was hard as a rock, so I read about this and harvested the pods. Quite the crunchy bite.
I’ve had trouble getting decent root bulbs on my radishes, but then they went to seed. OMG, the seed pods are delicious. Why even bother with trying for the roots? The pods are better and more abundant. Thanks for the recipe ideas.
Potatoes also bear fruit, which blew my mind the first time I found that out. It's how you grow potatoes from seed. But I wouldn't try eating them unless you want to potentially hallucinate and shit your pants
Last summer I ended up eatinghalf of the pods of the radishes I grew and let go to seed. Little by little each time I went to the garden, they are really nice! I thought it was only me! nice!
I like that some of your viewers send you interesting fruits, etc. that you might not be aware of, or are difficult to get. Makes for a nice community instead of just a channel. If they send recipes, you might want to share those as well. Thanks
I have tried these before. I grew a radish plant and once it overripened the pods grow. Also, a fruit recommendation: Cherry Plum (prunus cerasifera). These things are rampant across Australia, specifically on nature strips. I don’t want to spoil the flavour though.
A quick tip for hummus! You can replace the tahini (which can be rather expensive) with a tablespoon of sesame oil. Gives an excellent nutty flavor. That being said, I do not recommend replacing all of the olive oil with sesame....waaaaay too much of a good thing😊
After seeing so many videos on this channel about exotic fruits from remote corners of the world, it's funny to see one about something that I've been growing in my backyard quasi-accidentally for years! It shows that 'weird' is in the eye of the beholder! By the way, radish leaves are edible too (though a little bitter). You can sautee the greens and the pods in some olive oil with some shallots for a healthy side dish
I love the taste of radish greens, but how are you able to cook them without the prickles on them ruining the dish? I've only ever been able to use the leaves as a seasoning because of that.
It totally makes sense that there would be some sort of fruiting body on radish plants but it just isn't anything I've thought about. Potatoes reproduce from the eyes but radishes don't have anything like that. Also great music there having Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, that was one of my favorite songs when I was a cello player in school.
I let two of my radish plants seed, and they took forever for the pods to mature, and once they did they made more batches, but I never looked into eating them, maybe I'll try it next year
I'm an avid gardener for the last 5 years and didn't know about the pods Till I planted radishes. I just happened to miss harvesting a few, and they bolted. After reading about the pods on the internet, I decided to give them a try. So did my kids. We all loved them. They became a favorite in salads. In fact my daughter decided to save a few in the freezer for later. We now just grow radishes for the pods, and don't bother with the bulb. This is especially handy because my local soil has an organism that causes bulbs or roots of many veggies to wilt right after picking. Also most brassicas, the cabbage family, that also includes radishes. No I'm not kidding. They are related to cabbages, brussels sprouts, bok choi, diakon, and many others. All produce a fruit like this. They taste similar to the parent plant. I personally don't like them as much as radish, but they're all good.
From my experience you harvest radishes before they flower more because they turn woody as they get older, so nice option if you don't get to them in time. Newer to your channel, so if you haven't tried onion fruit/flowers yet, I recommend that.
@@WeirdExplorer If you get your hands on it, just be aware that the seeds, at least from the ones I've had, are very hard. More suited to putting in a grinder. They're best if you get them very unripe but sometimes there will be some hard ones mixed in. Onions are one of the easiest things to grow, so if you want to give it a try, just get a red onion from the market, plant it in the spring (if it becomes more than one plant it's best to separate them), let it flower, enjoy.
The blossoms of onion chives (& probably any Allium that doesn't have plain white flowers) make a beautiful and useful vinegar. Even cider vinegar (brown) will take on a nice salmon color after having chive flowers soaking in it for 2 weeks. It is a pity to remove the floral display, but keeps them from seeding around (chives tend to take over).
Radishes are closely related to many vegetables and herbs, so the seed pods are very similar tasting. Mustard is the most cultivated one probably. There are many weeds related to mustard and taste very good.
where i live it dosent stay cold for long it goes from too cold to grow anyting to summer heat in like 2 weeks so bolt before the root is large enough to bother collecting most of the time i just let my radishes go to seed since the pods are nice to snack on
I primarily grow radishes for the leaves and fruits now. A lot more produce per plant. Just keep pruning and they keep going. Use the blossom for a tea
I just learned you can also eat the "flower" of the tropical pitcher plant. Locals in Thailand do it as a treat filled with sticky sweet coconut rice. Either raw or steamed.
So if you missed to harvest your radishes in time, leave them a little longer and harvest the fruit! Very good idea, Jared. It's not been only once I missed the harvest before blooming. Jared, you are funny. ... can't open it, show is over and Outro, LOL
I love these things and discovered them on my own when growing radishes. I like them better than the radish root! This is a great reminder to add radishes to my garden next year.
Oo these look tasty! I was just watching atomic shrimp making mustard seed pod pickles but they didn't keep their crunch like these ones. I kinda wanna grow them now lol
These are nice and juicy. I'm not much of a vegetable guy either, but I like them a lot. The fact that I have tried this makes it obvious that I'm lazy (for not picking my radishes on time).
yeah, rat's tail radishes are great producers. best when picked young, before they get woody, great as pickles. Also the radishes that produce pods are specialty radishes, they will put their energy in making pods and not the root.
I had so many rat tails this year that I could not pick them fast enough. I added a bunch as the main ingredient in a stir- fry only to find out half of them were woody and ruined the dish! Next year I will have to figure out how to inspect them to weed out the woody ones. 🤷♂️
@@jeremybyington yeah, it's a little confusing sometimes.. I had 2 plants and I couldn't eat enough fresh ones.. I think the best bet is to pick them as soon as possible, waiting for yield is usually a mistake.
All radishes will produce pods. It's the process of them going to seed. If you want radish pods, plant a radish when it's a little too hot for it to grow a root. It will bolt and go to seed, producing the pods. I do this every year to produce seeds for my next year's garden.
Who else didn't know that radishes had an edible fruit?
Me
Btw I subscribed
I've even them and never knew!😯

Dang I’m gonna try this next season. I always grow a bunch of radishes every spring. Thanks for the inspiration
Came here for radish pods/fruits, learned how to make tahini and hummus. 11/10
Its cheap, easy and tastes so much better than store bought. If you have a food processor, there is no need to buy those $3 tubs of hummus.

As an interesting aside: I learned recently that radishes themselves can be roasted. It takes away the piquantness and they are delicious. They are like a fancy potato. And the reason, in case you're wondering, to grow radishes for roasting, is that radishes are one of the fastest growing veggies -- usually ready to harvest in 25 days.
But the piquancy is what I love about them. I thought they were spicy as a kid.
Been enjoying them for a few years. They're a wonderful snack, and surprised that they aren't the "latest craze" in the chique vegetable market.
The same happens with the arugula if you let it grow, they form similar capsules and they are delicious
As someone who loves both radishes and arugula I will be trying the fruits as soon as I can get a chance.
One of the unsung heroes of the vegetable garden!

where i live it dosent stay cold for long it goes from too cold to grow anyting to summer heat in like 2 weeks so bolt before the root is large enough to bother collecting most of the time i just let my radishes go to seed since the pods are nice to snack on
I primarily grow radishes for the leaves and fruits now. A lot more produce per plant.
Just keep pruning and they keep going.
Use the blossom for a tea
I grow them specifically for the pods. They are so versatile.
i left extra radishes in my garden last year to grow and saw the pods, I tried them and they wernt bad!
I just learned you can also eat the "flower" of the tropical pitcher plant. Locals in Thailand do it as a treat filled with sticky sweet coconut rice. Either raw or steamed.
So if you missed to harvest your radishes in time,
leave them a little longer and harvest the fruit!
Very good idea, Jared.
It's not been only once I missed the harvest before blooming.
Jared, you are funny.
... can't open it, show is over and Outro, LOL
Nice. It’s 1130pm and I’m in my garden eating these right now. Thanks. I had no idea.
I eat the pods from some dicons that have gone wild around my garden.
They're excellent in salads.
i actually did know this only because of gardening. super cool, glad you got to try them!
Next season I will let mine fruit and try them in a stir fry. Thanks for showing I never knew these existed.
They are a great fresh in salads mine go to seed every year grow too many radishes....yum hummus
The Rats Tail radish is my favorite variety for the seed pods!
i am gonna try growing some of these this spring, it will be a fun experiment
I found you because I was watching New Scandinavian Cooking. It took me to your cloudberry adventure in Finland.
I love these things and discovered them on my own when growing radishes. I like them better than the radish root! This is a great reminder to add radishes to my garden next year.
Their great as companion plants for lots of vegetables
Oo these look tasty! I was just watching atomic shrimp making mustard seed pod pickles but they didn't keep their crunch like these ones. I kinda wanna grow them now lol
FYI you are supposed to screw the caps on ball jar lids while hot so that it creates a vacuum. Air will escape the seal while cooling.
These are nice and juicy. I'm not much of a vegetable guy either, but I like them a lot. The fact that I have tried this makes it obvious that I'm lazy (for not picking my radishes on time).
Radish and turnip pods are delicious. I grow them all the time.
All of the vegetables in the mustard family produce fruit.
yum, Grew up eating wild radish fruits. They grow everywhere on the west coast.
Where on the west coast? I've only ever seen mustard growing wild
@@brandon9172 often near the beaches, near wet lands, i do a lot of nature.
Omg loved that fake-out ending lmao!
yeah, rat's tail radishes are great producers. best when picked young, before they get woody, great as pickles. Also the radishes that produce pods are specialty radishes, they will put their energy in making pods and not the root.
I had so many rat tails this year that I could not pick them fast enough. I added a bunch as the main ingredient in a stir- fry only to find out half of them were woody and ruined the dish! Next year I will have to figure out how to inspect them to weed out the woody ones. 🤷♂️
@@jeremybyington yeah, it's a little confusing sometimes.. I had 2 plants and I couldn't eat enough fresh ones.. I think the best bet is to pick them as soon as possible, waiting for yield is usually a mistake.
All radishes will produce pods. It's the process of them going to seed. If you want radish pods, plant a radish when it's a little too hot for it to grow a root. It will bolt and go to seed, producing the pods. I do this every year to produce seeds for my next year's garden.
@@Teefs of course all radishes will produce pods.. that's the only way to propagate. Specialty pod radishes will just produce more pods more quickly.
@@frankb5728 Gotcha 😉
