Rat's Tail Radish (Raphanus sativus var. caudatus)
Heirloom snake radish, crisp spicy pods, delicious fresh, cooked, or pickled
Also called "Snake radish", this radish is a very old variety originating from Indonesia. It does not develop a root, but is eaten by... the tail! It is actually the aerial pods that are edible and look like rat tails. Tender and tasty (pods, not rat tails!), slightly spicy, they can be eaten raw, cooked or marinated.
