Daikon is the Asian variety of radish. In English it is also known by ‘white radish’, ‘long radish’, ‘winter radish’ and ‘Oriental radish’. The word ‘daikon’ comes from Japanese language. In mainland China and Singapore, it is called "white carrot" or simply "carrot" because of the similarity of the vegetables' names in Mandarin and Hokkien. The word ‘mooli’ comes from Korean language. It is also known in India by this name. Famous Singaporean street food called 'carrot cake' is made with daikon. There is no carrot in the carrot cake. In Japanese and Chinese cuisine many kinds of pickles are made with daikon.
It has a slightly peppery taste but is milder than normal radish. It helps in kidney function, acne, diabetes, and bloating.
