I got an Asian podding radish from Bountiful Gardens in California, U.S.
that produces large pods and no root. The seed saver's exchange, also U.S.
based, but with international membership, lists several edible podded type
also called "Snake" or "rat's tail". ISTR seeing that in catalogs, so you
might try it as a search.
Regular radish seed pods are fine stir-fried as well; these varieties are
just selected for pods as the main crop (think chard vs. beets).
