Radish (Mooli)
White Daikon and Red Radishes — Crisp, peppery texture from UP and Punjab
Radish (Mooli) — Export Quality from India
Radish (Mooli)
The large, elongated White Radish (commonly called Daikon or Mooli) is a winter staple in India. Boasting a crisp, slightly peppery flavor with high water content, it is heavily exported to Asian communities worldwide for use in salads, pickles, and traditional parathas. We also supply smaller round red radishes, carefully harvesting them before they become pithy.
