When I was a child, we grew radishes in the garden and we ate them at the table with salt. Not everyone is a big fan of radishes, and some children can not abide the spicy bite they have.
What I like about radishes is that they are the fastest thing to grow in your garden. In a classroom where you might be experimenting with growing from seed, they are one of the better things to plant. If food were in short supply, radishes would be something that we could grow to maturity faster than anything else.
What about cooking radishes? I saw this video today and it reminded me of what an excellent thing radishes are to grow in our gardens. When they are cooked, their texture is similar to potatoes, and cooking removes the heat from them.
The one drawback for growing radishes or purchasing and stocking radish seeds is that the seeds are not viable for many years like tomato seeds are.
