Fresh consumption — black radish

Raphanus sativus L. var. niger (Mill.) S. Kerner

The consumption of black radish is characterized by a pronounced pungent taste and a high concentration of biologically active substances, which requires culinary adjustment to harmonize its organoleptic properties.

In the reference 48 varieties crop Black radish, where this is mentioned in the description.

Black radish possesses the most intense pungent and bitter flavor among all radish varieties, which is due to a high content of essential oils and glycosides. The majority of the compounds responsible for the specific pungency are concentrated in the layer directly beneath the skin of the root crop.

In its fresh form, the crop is most commonly used in salads and appetizers, where its flavor is balanced by other ingredients. To reduce the intensity of the bitterness before consumption, soaking or short-term thermal processing is employed; the root is also combined with honey or used in juice form due to its high concentration of phytoncides.
