Daikon, sometimes called winter radish, is a root vegetable that is long and tubular. Daikon radishes have a crispy texture and are mild in flavour with a slightly peppery bite. Daikon contains many plant compounds that may improve health and offer protection against certain diseases. One test-tube study found that daikon extract contained the polyphenol antioxidants ferulic acid and quercetin, both of which have anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and immune-boosting properties ( 9 , 10 , 11 )
