the taste is quite good.
I fermented Miyashige White Radish with its green tops and added some raw ginger. Fermented it just as I would cabbage right down to the same salt ratio. Came out a beautiful emerald green with some lighter green mixed in from the white root. Some of it is a little chewy but I think that happened because I only let it ferment for 10 days.
Daikon is the more popular oriental radish but the amazing health benefits are basically the same.
