Daikon

Also called white radish and lo pak, daikon is a sweet, crisp, juicy member of the radish family. It is widely available most of the year but is tastiest in the fall and winter. Choose large, juicy daikons. It is best to peel the roots before cooking or adding to salads. If you are using daikon uncooked, soak it in ice water for about 15 minutes to add crispness.
