Radish is an edible root vegetable. It is an extremely variable species of a garden vegetable. Some are annuals while some biennials. Radish leaves usually are medium green and lobed, and have a rough texture, but some are purplish and some are smooth. The flowers are white, pink or purple. Most types are grown for their enlarged roots. The seed pods are sickle-shaped. They are full of little round seeds. Some are small ‘salad radishes’ with red skins or pure white throughout.
