EP!C Harvest unique veggies

If a vegetable could awaken Sleeping Beauty, which vegetable would it be?
There are a variety of radishes which come in different sizes and colors. Table radishes are no larger than ping pong balls and can be red, purple, red-and-white, and pink. Red meat radishes are a type of Daikons, which are large and can reach a foot in size. Red meat radishes have a white or light green exterior color and a hot pink interior color. Unfortunately, radishes are not nutritional powerhouses, but they contain nutrients such as vitamin C, folate and potassium. Radishes can be eaten raw, after proper washing, fried, steamed, cooked or baked. Some consumers add salt or pepper to radishes to give them more taste. When purchasing radishes, ensure minimal blemishes are present and absolutely no mushy spots. Also, Red meat radishes are best preserved when refrigerated. They are also known as Watermelon radishes and more poetically beauty heart radishes which originated from Western Asia and Europe but now can be found in various parts of the world including Peoria, IL. Stop by EPIC Harvest and snag the beautiful vegetable which Sleeping Beauty might have utilized instead of a kiss from the Prince.
