    Wife likes to snack on grapes.

    I like to snack on radishes.

    But which is best?

      Both really.

      Grapes are mainly water & fruit sugar but do have vitamins.

      Radishes have fibre and vitamins & trace elements.

      All good in the winter:)

        Japanese Radish? Better for hand to hand fighting rather than snacking

          No, they are more like Mooli (like you can buy in the supermarket).

          I grew some one year and was disappointed in the blandness.

          I also grow horseradish, our home made stuff is exceptionally hot. Never thought about growing Wasabi, I do like it with Sushi. I wonder if it's possible to grow in this country.

          I grew the Black Spanish Radish some years ago.

          It was huge, black skinned, white flesh and Orrible.

          Seed pods were great in stir fries though:dbgrtmb:

          Do all radishes produce edible seed pods?

          For that matter, do all brassicas produce edible pods? My brussels sprouts went to seed last year and I was tempted to use the pods but bottled out at the last minute.
