I am not a fan of radishes, I dont hate them just not a fan! However just today I revisited radishes and
found a way to enjoy them. We have half
a share with My Vegi Box and our lovely local farming family has been sending
us radishes and I have been putting them aside because it’s not a vegetable I
particularly enjoy. In
spite of this after another bundle of very lovely radishes was given to us I decided I could not let all that hard work go to
waste. I grabbed the spring
salad mix, the sprouts, the green onions (all from our share) and the radishes
and made a toss salad and topped it with my own homemade coconut Thai curry
sauce. I was waiting for that overly
bitter taste but instead the taste blended in with the creamy coconut and curry and even complimented the flavour.
I am thrilled to say I can now enjoy radishes and will continue to experiment with them. Sometimes when we dislike a food especially
a healthy one like radishes it’s worth thinking about the work our farmers put
into growing them, appreciating the health benefit and getting creative to make
it acceptable to our pallet. Don’t give
up on those healthy foods that you can’t tolerate just try and get creative
before tossing them to the compost! Dana Clark, CNHP, CHN, CHC owner of From the Roots Holistic
