Raphanus sativus
Some radish species are grown for their crispy taproots, others – like ours – for their tasty leaves. Radish leaves grow rapidly. The leaves of the leaf radish are dark green with a pretty red hue. Young leaves are virtually smooth, the older ones are slightly fuzzy. Both have the familiar fresh, crisp, slightly peppery flavour of the root radish. Toss a handful of raw baby leaves to your salads to pep them up or use them to garnish hot dishes. You could also try mixing them to a super healthy smoothie. The more mature leaves can be cooked like spinach or whirled to a delicious pesto with some kick in it.
