Organic Daikon Radishes (a superfood, powerhouse of goodness) are sold in bundles of either 2-3 in our grocery stores, and each one can be up to 15 inches long.
I only need about a 1/2 cup of the radish, when I make kimchi for ourselves.
It got me thinking.
I could freeze the rest for meals, or I could dehydrate the extra.
I will store the dehydrated daikon radishes until the next time I want to make kimchi, and simply break up the dehydrated radishes, and re-hydrate them.
Easy, makes the most of our purchase with buying daikon radishes, and we don't have to eat it for days fresh. However, I did find a recipe that uses daikon radish, that I do want to eventually try. By the way, diced daikon radish goes well in soups and stews (and can be swapped for potatoes in soups).
I also want to upgrade my spiralizer to something that works a bit more efficient than my itty bitty hand twist one.
Yes, I wanted to plant these radishes in the garden the last few years, but we did not have the space, and you can see they grow very deep roots.
