Are these Edible??
 
I all I had some mixed salad greens planted. I let them grow but just
now dug them up before they set seed over my raised beds. When I pulled
them up they had large white roots that smelled strongly of radish.
The packet was an offer and I do know all that was in it.
Here is a link to photos of the plants leaves and the root. just move
through till you see them all.

Would be a shame to waste them if they are some kind of radish....

Thanks

Looks like a white radish I grew a year or so ago(icicle I think) but I
wouldn't be sure without seeing the leaf but from what you say it must be
favourite

I think a radish is exactly what it is, its called a Mooli and I think
its Indian in origin - I first saw it years ago in the Asian food
shops in Luton when I lived there. Now you can buy them in all the big
supermarkets.
Eat it raw grated or chopped or its good in a stir fry too.

Yup. Probably "Long White Icicle". Quite common as non-standard radishes
go.

In such a case it is a good idea to carefully taste a morsel. If it tastes
like a radish then it is likely to assume it's probably a radish.
