Radish

Radishes reach their peak between May and October, flourishing as a highlight of the British spring and summer garden. Known for their peppery crunch and vibrant color, they provide a refreshing contrast in salads. They are a low-calorie source of vitamin C, potassium, and protective antioxidants.
