Featured article: White Radish

White radish, also called daikon or winter radish, has long been out of the picture in the kitchen. Fortunately, the product is now making a comeback. The taste of the long white root is similar to a radish but is slightly different.

We peel the white radish by hand, this improves the shelf life. You can order this delicious vegetable in different sizes. All types are equally fresh and shiny.

White radish is often only used in salads. But did you know that, when served hot, it makes a delicious addition to a dish? In broccoli soup for instance. We also found a nice recipe for you (source: mijnreceptenboek.nl).
