White Radish

Also Known As: White Radish, Daikon, Mooli

White Radish is a crisp, mildly pungent root vegetable commonly used in Indian and Asian cooking. It has a naturally refreshing taste and can be eaten raw or cooked.

Our White Radish is sourced from various farming families in and around Bengaluru, Karnataka, following traditional and indigenous farming practices. The actual farmer, growing area, variety and harvest characteristics may vary depending on the season and availability.

As a fresh root vegetable, White Radish naturally varies in size, shape, skin texture and pungency.

Benefits of Using

White Radish naturally provides:

• Dietary fibre, which is part of a balanced diet.
• Vitamin C, a naturally occurring nutrient in radish.
• Folate (vitamin B9) in small amounts.
• Potassium, a naturally occurring mineral.
• Naturally high water content, making it a crisp and refreshing vegetable.
• Naturally low in fat and calories.

These are general nutritional characteristics and are not medical claims.

Common Uses

White Radish can be used in many traditional preparations:

• Sambar
• Radish curry
• Radish poriyal
• Radish sambar
• Radish paratha
• Radish dal
• Rasam
• Vegetable soups
• Salads
• Pickles
• Chutneys
• Stir-fries
• Fresh grated radish preparations

The young leaves can also be used in certain traditional preparations when supplied with the radish.

Natural Freshness & Shelf Life

White Radish contains a high amount of natural moisture and is therefore more perishable than some dry root vegetables.

After harvesting, it may naturally:

• Lose moisture
• Become softer or less crisp
• Develop slight surface dryness
• Become more pungent over time
• Show minor changes in colour or texture
• Develop soft or damaged areas if exposed to excess moisture

The leaves, when attached, generally lose freshness faster than the root.

Why White Radish May Spoil Faster

White Radish is a fresh, high-moisture vegetable. Its shelf life is affected by temperature, humidity, handling and storage.

It may spoil faster when:

• Stored in excessive moisture
• Kept wet inside a closed bag
• Exposed to physical damage
• Stored at unsuitable temperatures
• Kept for too long after harvesting

We rely on proper harvesting, handling and natural storage practices, rather than chemical preservatives to artificially extend the shelf life of fresh vegetables.

Storage

For better freshness:

• Refrigerate White Radish soon after receiving it.
• If leaves are attached, remove them before longer storage to reduce moisture loss from the root.
• Keep the roots dry during storage.
• Do not wash the entire batch before storing unless you plan to use it soon.
• Store in a suitable vegetable bag or container that prevents excessive moisture accumulation.
• Remove damaged pieces promptly.
• Wash thoroughly just before use.

Natural Variation

Naturally grown White Radish may vary in:

• Length
• Thickness
• Shape
• Skin smoothness
• Colour intensity
• Firmness
• Pungency
• Weight
• Leaf size when supplied with leaves

Some radishes may be straight and smooth, while others may have slight bends or surface irregularities. These are natural characteristics influenced by variety, soil, growing conditions and harvesting.

Replacement Policy

Generally, fresh vegetables are not eligible for replacement because of normal natural variation or ordinary spoilage after delivery.

Differences in size, shape, colour, firmness, pungency and surface appearance are normal characteristics of fresh White Radish.

If there is a genuine quality issue that was already present at the time of delivery, please provide clear photographs and the relevant order details. The matter can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
