I've always liked daikon when I go out to eat and it is a garnish I always eat it. I've never bought it before though.
How does it get stored? I bought some and graded it for the tea. I stored the left over graded in a plastic baggy and put it in the fridge and it SMELLED awful the next day. What gives?
It's most likely the greens that smell bad. You should buy those baggies they sell in some food stores that help keep your veggies/fruits good for longer by absorbing the gases that make them break down quicker. I had my daikon in the fridge for a week - and the greens smelled gross - but the part you eat was fine when cooked.
Where do you guys buy Daikon and what does it look like? I'm having trouble finding it.
Mine didn't have the greens on it so I don't know. Today I cut a piece off and graded it. I left it out on the counter, I thought maybe the fridge doesn't agree with it.
I got mine at the farmers market (two for a dollar!). It is long an white....looks like a huge white carrot. They usually have it in the grocery store near the fresh ginger and cabbage and raddish. Google it and click on images.
I bought mine at whole foods!
Bought some at my farmer's market today - 2 for $1.50 and they were huge! Just made some tea... yummy!
Is your Daikon kinda squishy? I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be crisp or not? Just checking on how fresh the ones I bought at the store are.
ya sabrina - i bought mine yesterday at a green grocer in town and mine was a tad wobbily and soft-ish.
but they 'just' brought em in (three days prior they didn't have any daikon, so i'm guessing its fresh-ish).
have yet to grate it and eat it though - am stoked to do so.
how did yours work out?
I wasn't sure about the daikon when I came across at the grocery store the other day. It felt a bit soft and wobbily like peas and carrots said. So, I didn't get it, but now I'm thinking maybe it's supposed to feel that way?
Evie - it's kind of like a white carrot, but some of them can look pretty long and thick.
i can never find it at whole foods... i don't think mine carries it! what the heck?!
