Giant white carrots are in season? No, it’s daikon and it’s available now! Since I’m always trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in my recipes, I sought out daikon, a mildly flavored radish that looks like a giant white carrot. It’s juicy and crisp, just perfect for a fall or winter fruit salad like this. It also contains lots of vitamins and cancer protecting potential along with digestive enzymes that helps break down food for better digestion…you’re welcome!
