I picked one of these and found that it is succulent and tastes only
faintly of radish. I had the idea that they would taste great in
stir-fry.


They do indeed... there are actually varieties bred for the pods rather
than the root.


Yes, we grow those, variety rat's tail. long pods, not too pungent,
excellent raw in salads (I also just eat them from the plant for a nibble
when I'm down the allotment) We'll also be trying them in stir fries this
year.
Mind you the bush is about 4 foot diameter, and straggly if left to its own
devices. Available in UK from Thomson&Morgan, do you get them in US?
