  • In this video, I give five reasons why you should consider growing daikon radish. I call this one of the ultimate survival crops. Hopefully, after watching this video, you share my enthusiasm for this often, unheard-of root crop.
    Oh and one piece of information I forgot to mention in the video, these guys are full of starches that rapidly convert into sugars, after a frost. So just like carrots, if you have a few colder nights or mornings, you can expect the taste to change for the better.
    Here is where I initially got my seeds: (not an affiliate link0

    Good job 👍, Anthony. My family been growing Daikon for the 1,000 years. It’s a cash crop for Asian markets. We grow the Japanese variety. See Asian cooking 🧑‍🍳. I make a type of dried Veggie noodle, a yellow pickle, a type of rice topping, Kim Chee, and others.

      They are very good. I'm a fan of it in kimchi. But the more I use it, the more I realize I can sneak it into alot of stews and no one notices

    Will try next year. Tried "mini daikon", this year, one star, tough, fibrous, tasted like dirt.
    Hopefully, crunchy, refreshing, yummy, suitable for salads, pickles, and stir fry next year.
    👍 good video and recommendation.

      Never tried growing the minis. Didn't even know they existed. But these guys are pretty good. Depending on your weather while they grow really impacts the perceived spiciness. When I grew these in the spring. They were much more refreshing. Fall since my temps kept hitting high 80s. They were more spicy. But they take pickling very well. And you can cook them to taste more like a carrot

    Thank you so much for this info. After you grate it, stirfry in a pan with salt, pepper and lots of lemon squeezed on it. After it is cooked for atleasr 20 minutes to half hour and is much softer. It tastes great in a wrap or pasta and amazing on a pizza! Try it. ❤

    I planted a Japanese variety last year and was eating my own radishes into December of last year. I like the root uncooked and cook the leaves in oil, garlic, and onions. Simply delicious.

    I see Kimchi in your future. Have you eaten the pods or leaves? the leaves are a bit radishy, so I only put in a few leaves in a bunch of greens. The young pods are awesome..and it's one of the easiest plants to save seed from...they keep reseeding themselves in the pot I grow them in for my little seed farm.

    • @PalmettoPrepared
      @PalmettoPrepared  10 місяців тому

      Mmmm kimchi is amazing. I have eaten the leaves. Not bad at all when you cook them in bacon fat with onions. Haven't let them go to seed yet. Last fall I let them decompose in place. That's where I planted the pumpkins.
      In the spring, once I discovered how good they were pickled, I didn't let any go to seed. Granted I only planted like 10 so it was easy to go through them. This spring coming up I'll let them go to seed for sure. I'm just mad I waited so long to try growing them. Hence the video. To convince others to not wait so long like I did

      Depends on how you cook them. Raw they taste like a half turnip, half radish. Cooked they taste more like a turnip to me. Pickled they taste like a cool crisp radish

    He’s wrong about the daikon radish dying off in the wintertime. It’s one of the few foods that you can grow that you can eat in the winter time.
    Also, you will have it in spring time and it makes a wonderful pollinator for all the bees when it shows you is beautiful, beautiful flowering when it metamorphic sizes itself and starts producing seeds that’s like a cocoon. You should see when it turns into a butterfly it’s blue. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
