What you see above is one of the first harvests of radishes from my garden.
Radishes are not the sexiest vegetables out there. But then again, what vegetable is sexy anyway? What a stupid statement. Fruits tend to be sexy like peaches, strawberries, and grapes.
Anyway, at one time I didn't like radishes. My dad grew them in his garden all the time. Somewhere along the line once I got older, I embraced the spicy root and enjoyed its heat.
I remember my dad slathering butter on cut radishes. I don't go that route. Instead, I just eat them as is, dip them into a dressing, or put them in salads.
From what I've gathered, the radish has all kinds of nutritional and health benefits. Check it out:

Those particular radishes are quite aesthetically pleasing. Like you I gave up on radishes as a kid. Perhaps I should give my grown-up palate a shot at them.
They're tasty.
