Also one of the few foods that give me inexplicable instant acid foaming back up from my stomach. I’ll eat habaneros for giggles, no problem, but a single one of those little round red monsters in a salad and I’m out.
I like radishes, raw and pickled. And it used to be very cheap food. But in US it’s really expensive. I wish we could just grow stuffs freely. Radishes are ready in 2-3 months if grown.
Too bad they taste bad
That sounds like medicine to me, not food :P
They taste like it too
If anyone here dislikes the peppery taste of raw radishes, I recommend cutting them into chunks, tossing with some olive oil, salt, and other seasoning and roast them until they are tender. This gets rid of the peppery taste and makes them taste more like potatoes or turnips.
The peppery taste is what I like most about radishes.
That’s always been my issue with them. I’ve been trying to expand my palate continuously, and this sounds wonderful. Definitely giving it a try.
Huh, I might try that. While I like the taste of radishes, I never know what to do with them other than toss in a salad. My kids don’t like the taste so another option is bonus
I mean they’re cool, but they’re not that cool.
They’re only rad-ish.
That was way more clever than it had any right to be… Get out!
How dare you…take my dam upvote

Don’t suppose you’re actually a beaver?
You can eat the greens, too. Chop them up and saute. I don’t like radishes though. I wish I did. I worked a few summers on an Amish farm and radishes are fun to harvest.
Any favorite recipes?
Cutting them to look like Mario Bros mushrooms.

Great they may be, but sneaking into the Gorgs’ garden to retrieve them is such a hassle.
The leaves are edible too,I use them in various recipes
The leaves are edible too,
I actually didn’t know that
Radishes contain almost no calories
Not very amazing then, given that I need those to survive.
I always hate seeing this. I get a lot of people struggle with being overweight, but there are those of us that struggle maintaining a healthy weight. But all health stuff seems to be focused on low calories and losing weight. I can’t even program fitness/eating apps to help me gain weight - best I can do is “maintain current weight”.
Well that’s an easy fix: use maintain weight, and then eat a little more ;)
Health apps also track calories out and this doesn’t work for that. Health apps want you to be on a decifit generally(eat less and exercise more). They’re just not setup for even “maintain” very well. This doesn’t solve the issue that most health apps are obesity centered and have alerts for too many calories, but almost never for too few. This doesn’t create a useful plan tailored to my needs, this is just “use something different and pretend it’s the same”. We do not have the same struggles and the apps don’t acknowledge any of that.
But thanks for acting like the entire problem is “just eat more”. Omg, why didn’t I think of that? Why am I trying to create a plan to help me when I could have just eaten more! Omg! You solved it! You solved all eating disorders! Congrats! All my anxieties just suddenly vanished and I can be normal!
Oh come on. Don’t just ignore my smiley and go on a rant like a boomer snowflake.
Even easier: maintain my weight then you’ll gain all you want
Omg, is that really the secret to eating disorders? Just “eat more”? Wow! You should be a licensed dietician!
Do you appreciate it when people tell you “just eat less?”. Does that actually work? I guess that means all fat people are just willingly fat, right? They just have to choose to eat less. Why even have health apps in the first place if it’s just that simple? Fat people are just lazy.
You see how when flipped around this is wildly offensive, but somehow you think telling someone struggling with low weight to “just eat more” isn’t?
Not really. With this flipped around my reaction is …. “whooOOSHH”.
How is it that now even self-deprecating humor targeting oneself can get someone ‘s panties in a bunch?
So someone posts their issue and you think a flippant joke dismissing them is funny?
Enjoy being a fat piece of shit then. I hope you get zero help and everyone just mocks you too.
And they’re delicious.
I love fresh radishes. I’ve often been called a weirdo for that. But they’re so… edible. Colorful, crunchy, flavorful. Even the spicy ones are good in a wasabi-spicy kind of way, excellent for clearing your nose!
Toast, hummus, and microplaned radishes. Mmmm.
If you don’t have a micro plane, get one!
I fucking love radishes. I use them as a dip delivery device, along with celery, to cut out chip calories.
