People have been eating radishes since ancient times, and they are reported to have been one of the main foods eaten by the slaves that built the pyramids in Ancient Egypt, as well as being mentioned in Ancient Greek writings by Herodotus and by the Roman Pliny. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes from pretty little watermelon radishes that taste great raw dipped in butter and salt to the great big daikon radishes that are ubiquitous in Japanese cuisine.
The humble little radish is full of good nutrition. Radishes are a real winter immunity booster as they are chock full of vitamin A, C, E, B6, potassium, and magnesium. This is a vegan recipe as it uses maple syrup to sweeten the radishes.
