winter radish

Winter radish is a variety of radish that doesn't mature quickly like the common red salad radish.

These larger, denser roots—including daikon, black Spanish, and watermelon radishes—are planted in late summer, harvested in fall, and store well through winter months.

The flavor tends toward sharper and more pungent than spring radishes: Grate winter radish into slaws or braise it with root vegetables.
