Radish sprouts are young seedlings of the radish plant, known scientifically as Raphanus sativus. They are typically harvested just a few days after germination, when they are about 1 to 2 inches tall. These sprouts are often used in salads, sandwiches, and as garnishes due to their crunchy texture and peppery flavor. Rich in vitamins and minerals, radish sprouts are a nutritious addition to various dishes. They contain antioxidants and are low in calories, making them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals. Additionally, they can be easily grown at home in soil or on a damp paper towel.
