Zlata, the Polish Radish

Zlata radish | Polish radish | Blue Skys Farm, Cranston RIThis unique and unusual variety of radish is native to Poland. Its skin is a light tan to bright yellow; the inner flesh is bright white.

Crunchy, juicy, and somewhat spicy (though not too strong), the Zlata radish is most frequently served as an appetizer or a snacking vegetable. It can also be sliced and added to a variety of dishes such as egg dishes, meats, and vegetable side dishes.

Fun fact: “Zlata” means “gold” in Czech.

We’ve got 2 recipes for you this week: a rich, warming braised radish, and a traditional French way to enjoy them raw.
