The Long White Radish (often called Daikon, especially in Asian cuisine) is a fresh root vegetable, elongated in shape, resembling a large white carrot. Supplied by Le Delas, a wholesaler in Rungis, this radish is distinguished by its white, firm flesh, offering a slightly pungent flavour, although milder and more subtle than that of pink or black radishes. Culinary uses: The Long White Radish can be used in a variety of ways, either raw or cooked: ► Raw and raw in summer: Grated or julienned, it is excellent in salads, raw vegetable platters or spring rolls, adding crunch and freshness. ► Marinated: Essential in Asian cuisine for making pickles (marinated vegetables) to accompany main dishes. ► Cooking: Can be diced and added to soups, broths or stews, where it absorbs flavours while retaining its texture. ► Juice: Used in vegetable juices and detox juices. Storage and preparation tips: ► Storage: Fresh product. Keep cool (ideally in the refrigerator, in the crisper drawer). ► Preparation: Wash and peel the skin. Cut into thin slices, grate, or cut into sticks depending on the recipe. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
