Where does fresh daikon radish juice originate?
The daikon radish is a perennial root vegetable belonging to the mustard plant family, Brassicaceae, a distant relative of other kitchen favourites such as cabbage, broccoli and turnip. The name daikon means �big root� in Japanese, which is very fitting for this large tuber.
Daikon is thought to be native to the Mediterranean and Black Sea coast. However, it is more widely associated with East Asia and South Asia, where daikon has been widely cultivated for centuries. It comes in several varieties and colours, but perhaps the most famous is the long white Japanese variety that somewhat resembles a large white carrot.
