Eating radish greens
Does anyone know if there's any problems related to eating
radish greens? Any poisonous types of radish greens or some such? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing as a poisonous radish green? I've looked through Google and I see a ton of suggestions to use radish greens on sandwiches, in salads with other greens, sprinkled with grated cheese, etc. -- Jim Carlock Post replies to newsgroup. |

They are definitely edible, like mustard greens only much milder. -- Chris Green |

Let a few radishes go to seed and harvest the pods, they're great in salads. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

Pick them young, the greens get coarse as they get older, use radishes
as row markers-they germinate fast. |

Thanks for the replies and comments. I look forward
to more! I've found an interesting page describing radishes. http://www.floridata.com/ref/R/raph_sat.cfm It identifies the radish as the most widely grown crop in Japan, that radishes contain large amounts of diatase which aids in the digestion of starches. It also mentions that certain radishes grow to 60 pounds. Fascinating! Some radishes require a temp of 45 or lower before seed pods form. So I'm not sure that these will grow seed pods here in Tampa, Florida, where the average annual temperature is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. That page indicates that radishes originated from charlock which is grown in Europe and the UK, but then mentions that Egyptians grew radish 3000 years before Christ. I couldn't find any other references to an earlier use of the crop. So I'm not sure what to make of that. Found references to Athenians using radishes as punishment for adultery... and references to Confucious eating radishes. Thanks and happy holidays! -- Jim Carlock Post replies to newsgroup. |

I believe it's kinder to label the poster as a troll than unbelievably, um, lacking in reasoning power. |

I was going to go along with Frogleg's idea that I was
trolling. But I was thinking along the lines that I was using Google as a trolling net to gather information, rather than as an ugly creature waiting to lure little children into my home. The question is a legitimate question. I know nothing about eating radish greens. I'm fairly new at messing with growing various plants. I've had success with cucumbers, basil, hungarian wax peppers and some cherry radish. I've failed miserably with tomatoes, chives, onions, squash, pumpkins, cabbage, lettuce and carrots. Anyways, being that I'm ignorant about radish, it's an appropriate question to ask. And YES, I was trolling through Google looking for answers to my question, but I wasn't satisfied and it is a very valid question. The trolling there turned up some odd historical items, some amazing information about 60 pound radish, some interesting facts that radish are the MOST widely grown crop in Japan, and some other interesting details that radish aid in the digestion of starches. If it disturbs someone, perhaps that one might want to talk about what is so disturbing, perhaps a bad experience with a radish? ;-) -- Jim Carlock Post replies to newsgroup. |
