The word radish derives from the latin word for root, "radix." Domesticated in Europe in pre-Roman times, radishes are an edible root of the Brassicaceae family. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. They are inexpensive, grow quickly and are cultivated and eaten throughout the world. As a root, they store well over winter and are often pickled. In Oaxaca, Mexico citizens carve figures out of radishes on "Noche de Los Rabanos" (Night of the Radishes) as part of Christmas festivities, pictured below.
