As a kid, I was not a fan of radishes. Thankfully those days are behind me. The photos are of radishes from my CSA box.
Radish Factoids
('cuz you know you'll need them some day):
-The name "radish" comes from the Roman word "radix," one of their words for "root."
-The Chinese grew them as early as 700 B.C. and introduced them to Japan, where they are still very popular vegetable (especially the daikon radish)
-They were grown in England in the 1500s and were touted as a remedy for kidney stones and facial blemishes.
