EDEN FOODS: Pickled Daikon Radish, 3.5 OZ

Long white daikon radish, Raphanus sativus, sun-dried and pickled with rice bran and sea salt in kegs. Diastase, an enzyme from fermentation, stimulates appetite and aids digestion. Traditionally served with meals sliced into small pieces. EDEN Pickled Daikon Radish is made using traditional methods dating back centuries. The long white radishes are first washed and hung outside to dry for over two weeks. Drying concentrates the sweetness of the radish. The roots are then separated from the dried leaves. They are placed in huge wooden barrels with layers of rice bran and sea salt where they are left to pickle. When ready the pickled radishes are removed, sliced and packaged with a small amount of the rice bran still covering the pickles.
