Radishes are vegetables that are part of the Brassicaceae family: originating from the area between the eastern Mediterranean countries and western Asia, radishes were already cultivated in remote times, with some testimonies already accrediting them as a food appreciated in the Egyptian world. There are early and late varieties of radish: the first bears fruit about a month after sowing, while the second only begins to bear fruit after about two months. Generally, radishes are associated with the characteristic red color, although in nature there are also white ones, with a rounded or even elongated shape.
