EAT THE SEASONS RADISHES

IT’S CRUNCH TIME FOR RADISHES IN MAY, WHEN THE FIRST CROP IS READY TO PULL UP FROM THE GROUND. AVOID GARNISHING ANY FAINT PRAISE – THESE SPICY, SALIVA-STIMULATING ROOT VEG, A RELATIVE OF HORSERADISH, SHOULD TAKE CENTRE STAGE WHEN PEPPING UP SALADS AND SLAWS. CRISP, CHERRY-SIZED YOUNGSTERS OFFER A GENTLER EXPERIENCE OVER THE WOODY BITTERNESS OF BIGGER VERSIONS. FOR THE BEST FLAVOUR, EAT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PICKING WHEN EACH PLUMP, PINK ORB IS AT THE PEAK OF ITS WARM, PEPPERY SASS.
