I've talked about watermelon radishes before, noting their beautiful interior that explodes like fireworks in a brilliant fuschia. I spotted them recently at the farmers' market and knew they would make a great photo subject.
I loved the interesting patterns inside, as expected. But I was also mesmerized by the lovely roots, that offered a peak of the beautiful color inside. One particular radish had such interesting roots, they reminded me of the coral found in my native Hawaii.
Watermelon radishes can taste sharp (nothing sweet like watermelons) and they always offer a splash of color to your dish.

Oooh they are pretty! So you said they're not sweet. Are they "radishy"? Or more mild than regular radishes?
They are radishy, and depending on which one you get, sometimes I feel the taste can be real sharp, while other times it'll taste like a regular radish. I've seen restaurants serve them with salt on the side so I guess the salt helps to soften the taste and maybe bring out more sweetness.
great photos! I had some on my salad today at work (the chef orders different kinds of radishes for me)
These are some wicked-looking radishes! Great pics!
What gorgeous photos. I love watermelon radishes, I cannot resist them when I see them at the farmer's market!
