Harvesting Techniques

Knowing when to harvest radishes is crucial. Harvesting too late can increase the pungency of the radish. Look for signs like root growth to determine the ideal harvest time.

Both radish roots and leaves are edible. The greens are pungent but delicious, while the flesh of the radish can be used in various dishes.
