I have always enjoyed radishes since my childhood. We grew them in the garden and I would pick one and wash it off outside and eat it just like that. When you make these radish pickles you get to eat them very soon rather than waiting for days when preserving.
Radish Pickle Ingredients
Radishes
Radish with its crispiness and peppery taste makes perfect finger food and adds a tasty crunch. Raw radishes are great in salads. Also, they make tasty radish pickles and even are tasty in a stir-fry or soup. Juicy radishes can be long or round and colorfully red, black, white, purple, or black. And they are a superfood packed with health benefits. Radishes help detox the liver, inhibit cancer, are good for helping diabetes, and much more.
Salt
Himalayan Salt is actually good for you! 100% NATURAL PINK & CERTIFIED: Sherpa Pink Himalayan Salt is is Kosher Certified, Non-GMO, and does not contain any MSG, Soy, Gluten, Dairy, or anti-caking agents. Salt draws moisture out of the vegetables and encourages the growth of useful bacteria so do not skimp on it for this radish pickle recipe.
Black Pepper
I like both of these black peppers: Trader Joe’s Black Pepper Peppercorns with Grinder or Simply Organic Pepper, Black Medium Grind Certified Organic. The pepper adds a little bit of heat to your radish pickles.
Water
It is important to use good water not straight out of the tap. I use reverse osmosis water for my radish pickles. Learn more about Unregulated Chemicals Found in Drinking Water Is Not Good For Us!
This is what I use in my kitchen: APEC Water Systems Top Tier-Built in USA-Ultra Safe, Premium 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System (Roes-50)
