Edible parts

Roots
Recipe idea for your 'Purpella' F1 radish harvest. Roast the root vegetables in uniform pieces. Scrub the roots under water, trim the ends, and peel them only if their skin requires it. Cut the larger ones into quarters so their cooking time matches that of the smaller pieces. Toss with a drizzle of oil, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet without overlapping the vegetables, then roast at 200°C (392°F), turning them halfway through. Check for tenderness with the tip of a knife. Finish with a little lemon juice or cider vinegar and serve with a cooked grain. Keep colors separate on the tray if you wish to preserve their contrast when serving. Small roots can be left whole if they are of a similar size. Thicker skin should be removed before cooking, while clean, young skin can be left on the vegetable.
