Description
Eden Dried Daikon Radish is a premium product traditionally crafted in the Miyazaki prefecture of southern Japan. This remarkable vegetable begins its journey as fresh daikon radishes, which are harvested during the winter to early spring months. After careful cleaning and slicing into delicate strips, the daikon is sun-dried on rice straw mats. The unique climatic conditions of cool evenings and bright sunshine during the day contribute to a mellowing of the flavor, concentrating its natural sweetness while preserving its nutritional value.
Dried and shredded daikon is known as sengiri or kiriboshi daikon in Japan. The daikon, scientifically referred to as Raphanus sativus longipinnatus, translates to 'great root' and is celebrated as the king of Oriental vegetables. This long white radish has its roots in China and found its way to Japan over 1,000 years ago, establishing itself as a staple in Asian cuisine.
In ancient times, when refrigeration was nonexistent, the drying and pickling of vegetables like daikon ensured their availability throughout the year. Eden Dried Daikon Radish is made using traditional methods, sun-dried naturally without any chemicals, artificial colorings, or modern drying techniques. In contrast to most commercial shredded daikon available today, which is often bleached to a stark white, Eden's product retains a natural light cream to tan color, reflecting its authentic processing.
This versatile ingredient can elevate a variety of dishes, making it ideal for:
- Soups and soup stock
- Noodle broth (dashi)
- Stews
- Teas
- Vegetable side dishes
Often paired with sea vegetables such as kombu, arame, and hijiki, Eden Dried Daikon Radish adds a spectacular flavor profile that enhances any meal. Additionally, it supports healthy digestion and metabolism, helping to metabolize fat and promote water passage.
Packaged in a convenient size of 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), this dried daikon radish is a must-have in any kitchen. Whether you’re preparing a hearty soup, a flavorful broth, or simply steeping it for a balancing tea, Eden Dried Daikon Radish is your go-to ingredient for authentic Asian cooking.
Experience the rich culinary heritage of Japan with Eden Dried Daikon Radish, a natural, flavorful, and nutritious addition to your pantry.
